This policy explains how The Vision Co uses cookies and similar technologies on thevisionco.com. For how we handle personal information more generally, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device so it can recognize your browser on a later visit. We use "cookies" in this policy as shorthand for cookies and a few related technologies that work the same way: pixels and tags (small pieces of code that report that a page or action happened), and browser storage such as local storage.

Cookies set by thevisionco.com are first-party. Cookies set by another company whose code runs on our pages are third-party. A session cookie is erased when you close your browser; a persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.

2. The cookies we use

STRICTLY NECESSARY

These are required for the site to work and for features you ask for, such as signing in, completing a purchase, and protecting against fraud and abuse. They cannot be turned off.

Session and security cookies — The Vision Co. Keep you signed in, maintain application state, and protect forms against cross-site request forgery. Session to 12 months.

Cookie banner storage — The Vision Co. Records your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every page. Up to 12 months.

auth0, auth0_compat, did, did_compat — Auth0 (Okta). Maintain your session after sign-in and support detection of suspicious sign-in attempts. Session to 1 year. Set when you sign in.

__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid, m — Stripe. Fraud prevention and checkout session handling. 30 minutes to 2 years. Set when you check out.

ANALYTICS

These help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

_ga — Google Analytics 4. Distinguishes one browser from another so visits can be counted. 2 years.

_ga_[container-id] — Google Analytics 4. Persists session state for our Analytics property. 2 years.

ADVERTISING

These measure whether our ads work and allow us to show you ads for The Vision Co on other platforms. They can be used to build a profile of your interests.

_fbp, _fbc, fr — Meta (Facebook, Instagram). Identify your browser and record ad clicks so campaigns can be measured and our ads shown to you on Meta platforms. 90 days.

_ttp, ttcsid, ttcsid_[pixel code], ttclid, ttwid — TikTok. Measure TikTok campaign performance and attribute actions to ads. Up to 13 months from last use.

Durations are the maximum the provider sets. Your browser may expire cookies sooner, and some browsers cap cookie lifetimes regardless. Names and durations change occasionally when providers update their code.

3. Third Parties

Some cookies above are set by other companies, not by us. Once set, those companies handle the resulting data under their own policies:

Google (Analytics) — policies.google.com/technologies/cookies

Meta Platforms — facebook.com/policies/cookies

TikTok — tiktok.com/legal/page/global/tiktok-website-cookies-policy/en

Stripe — stripe.com/legal/cookies-policy

Auth0 / Okta — okta.com/privacy-policy

4. Your choices

OUR COOKIE BANNER

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we ask for your consent before setting any cookie that is not strictly necessary. Only strictly necessary cookies are set until you choose.

Elsewhere, including the United States, analytics and advertising cookies are set when you use the site. You can change this at any time by reopening the cookie banner and updating your choices.

BROWSER CONTROLS

Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. These settings apply per browser and per device, and clearing cookies will also clear the record of your choices here.

Chrome — support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647

Safari — support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac

Firefox — support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop

Edge — support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge

OPTING OUT WITH THE PLATFORMS DIRECTLY

Google Analytics — tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Meta — ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings

TikTok — Settings, then Privacy, then Ads personalization

Industry pages — optout.aboutads.info, optout.networkadvertising.org, youronlinechoices.eu

BROWSER SIGNALS

Some browsers can send automatic signals such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. We do not currently respond to them. Use the controls above instead.

5. If you are in the EEA or UK

We rely on your consent to set analytics and advertising cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are required to deliver a service you have requested.

You can withdraw consent at any time by reopening the cookie banner. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent and does not affect anything done before you withdrew.

You have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability over your personal data, and you may complain to your local supervisory authority. Our Privacy Policy explains how to exercise those rights and how we handle transfers of data to the United States, where The Vision Co is based.

6. Changes

We update this page when we add or remove a tool that sets cookies. The date at the top reflects the current version.
