Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how earth.vc uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.


1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember information about your visit, like your preferences, or how you found the site, and are also used by analytics and advertising tools. Because of how we use cookies, this Site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals; use the controls in Section 4 below instead.


2. Categories We Use

  • Strictly necessary. Needed for the Site to function, e.g., remembering your cookie preference itself. No consent required; these are exempt under the ePrivacy Directive.

  • Analytics / performance. Google Analytics 4, used to understand how visitors use the Site, separate from GA4's own server-side data retention setting, which is capped at 14 months regardless of the cookie's browser-side lifespan. Consent required for EEA/UK visitors.

  • Functional. Remembers choices you've made (e.g., a form you started). Consent required, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for a feature you specifically requested.

  • Marketing / advertising. Consent required if used.


3. Your Consent

For visitors in the EEA and UK, we ask for your opt-in consent before setting any cookie other than strictly-necessary ones, through a cookie banner presented on your first visit. This is a requirement of the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) independent of any legal basis we might otherwise have under the GDPR — a legitimate-interest justification for data processing does not substitute for cookie consent.


For visitors elsewhere, we still offer the same controls, and honor your choice in the same way.


4. How to Control Cookies

  • Our cookie banner: Use the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Site footer at any time to view or change your choices.

  • Your browser: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may affect how the Site functions.

  • Opting out of Google Analytics specifically: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents GA4 (and older Universal Analytics) JavaScript from sharing visit data.


5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are set by third-party tools we use (e.g., analytics or embedded content such as a video player). Those providers' own privacy and cookie practices govern the data they collect — see the specific provider's policy for detail.


6. Changes to This Policy

We'll update this page if the cookies we use change materially, with a new "Last updated" date.
