Last updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the Vamelda website uses cookies and similar technologies. It applies to all visitors to vamelda.info and complies with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve efficiency, and provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be classified in several ways: by duration (session cookies that expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies that remain on your device for a set period) and by origin (first-party cookies set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies set by external services).
2. How We Use Cookies
Vamelda uses only strictly necessary first-party cookies. We do not use third-party cookies, advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any cookies designed to track your behaviour across websites.
3. Cookies Used on This Website
The table below describes the specific cookie used by this website:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vamelda_cookie_consent | Stores the user's response to the cookie consent banner (accepted or declined). Prevents the banner from reappearing on subsequent visits. | Strictly necessary | 365 days (accepted) / 30 days (declined) | First-party |
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the basic functioning of a website. Under UK PECR, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent, though we still present the cookie banner in the interest of transparency.
The single cookie used on this website (vamelda_cookie_consent) does not contain personal identifiers. It stores only a preference value ("accepted" or "declined") and the date of the user's decision. It is not used for any tracking, profiling, or analytical purpose.

- Social media cookies or tracking pixels
- Third-party cookies of any kind
- Behavioural tracking or profiling technologies
- Cross-site tracking mechanisms
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings menus. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
- Our cookie banner: When you first visit this website, you are presented with a consent banner. Selecting "Decline" will record your preference and dismiss the banner without setting any non-essential cookies.
- Clearing cookies: You can delete the vamelda_cookie_consent cookie at any time by clearing your browser cookies. This will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
