Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 1 March 2026

Website: vogueboost.com (“Site”)

Operator: Vogue Boost Ltd (“Vogue Boost,” “we,” “us,” “our”).

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on the Site and our digital learning environments. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve user experience, measure usage, and provide relevant content. Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
  • Persistent cookies (stay until expiration or deletion)
  • First‑party cookies (set by vogueboost.com)
  • Third‑party cookies (set by service providers we use)

We also use similar technologies including:

  • Web beacons/pixels
  • Local storage
  • SDKs (in our apps or integrated services)
  • Server-side tracking events (privacy‑preserving analytics)
  • Digital watermarking tokens and secure device fingerprinting (used strictly for account security and fraud prevention).

2) How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

(A) Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.

Purposes include:

  • Authentication & security
  • Account access & seat licensing
  • Page navigation
  • Load balancing & platform availability
  • Automated license abuse detection, concurrent login blocking, and intellectual property trace identification.

Examples:

  • Session ID
  • Login state
  • Security tokens
  • Cloud hosting/CDN cookies
  • sec_trace_id (anti-piracy and license enforcement)

Legal basis (UK GDPR): Legitimate interests (service provision, security), and in some cases contract.

(B) Functional Cookies

Improve your experience, such as:

  • Remembering user preferences (language, region, UI settings)
  • Saving progress in learning content
  • Keeping playback settings for videos

These may be disabled, but some features will not work correctly.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests and/or consent depending on your jurisdiction.

(C) Analytics & Performance Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use the Site and improve product performance.

Examples include:

  • Page views, navigation paths
  • Time on page
  • Error diagnostics
  • Aggregated usage patterns

We design analytics to respect privacy (e.g., IP masking, aggregation, minimisation) and may use:

  • First‑party analytics
  • Privacy‑centric third‑party analytics tools
  • Server-side analytics

Legal basis: Consent where required (e.g., UK/EU under PECR), otherwise legitimate interests.

(D) Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Used (where applicable) for:

  • B2B remarketing
  • Audience segmentation
  • Measurement of campaign effectiveness
  • LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, or similar (configured for B2B relevance)

Important for B2B:

Marketing cookies are off by default in the UK/EU until you give consent through the Cookie Banner.

Legal basis: Consent (where required).

3) Cookies We Typically Use (Examples)

Your actual cookie list will depend on your platform stack (LMS, CRM, analytics). A common example set:

Essential

  • __cf_bm (Cloudflare bot management)
  • session_id (authentication)
  • auth_token (secure login token)
  • wp_woocommerce_session_* (if using WooCommerce for checkout)
  • sec_trace_id (fraud prevention and IP protection)

Functional

  • locale_pref (language settings)
  • ui_theme (layout/theme preferences)

Analytics

  • _clck / _clsk (privacy‑centric analytics)
  • _ga* (if Google Analytics is used with privacy controls; optional)
  • fpestid (first‑party tracking ID)

Marketing (only if enabled)

  • _gcl_au (ads measurement)
  • li_fat_id (LinkedIn Ads)
  • Meta remarketing pixels (disabled unless explicitly needed)

We will update this list in our Cookie Manager as services change.

4) Cookie Banner & Consent Management

On your first visit, and periodically thereafter, you will see a Cookie Banner that allows you to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies
  • Customise preferences

You can revisit your preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

5) How to Manage or Delete Cookies

You can block or delete cookies through:

  • The Cookie Settings tool on our Site
  • Your browser settings, such as:
    • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
    • Safari: Preferences → Privacy
    • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security
    • Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions

Blocking some cookies may impact functionality, including sign‑in, course progress, and video playback.

6) Third‑Party Processors

We may allow trusted providers to set cookies or pixels for:

  • Hosting & CDN
  • LMS & video content
  • Analytics
  • Payment processing (checkout)
  • B2B advertising platforms (if consented)

These providers process data strictly under contract and security obligations. See our Privacy Policy and Sub‑Processor List for details.

7) Do Not Track (DNT)

Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals because no common standard exists. You may still disable cookies using the methods described above.

8) International Transfers

Cookies set by third‑party providers may involve transfers outside the UK/EEA (e.g., U.S.).

In such cases, we rely on:

  • UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA),
  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs),
  • UK Addendum and supplementary measures.

See our Privacy Policy for details.

9) Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. Changes will be posted with a new Effective Date. Where legally required, we will prompt you to refresh consent.
