Vascan — Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vascan Technology Limited ("Vascan", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use the Vascan platform and related services, including:

• Vascan Shop
• Vascan for Business
• Vascan for Cre8ives
• our websites, landing pages, forms, dashboards, and communications (collectively, the "Platform")

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device, remember preferences, improve performance, and understand how users interact with pages and features.

We may also use similar technologies such as:

• pixels / tags
• local storage
• session storage
• SDKs (in apps, where applicable)
• analytics scripts

For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies" unless stated otherwise.

Why Vascan Uses Cookies

We use cookies to support the operation, security, and improvement of Vascan across all products. Depending on your use of the Platform, cookies may be used to:

• keep you logged in and maintain secure sessions
• remember account and interface preferences
• improve website performance and page loading
• understand usage patterns (e.g., pages visited, clicks, navigation paths)
• measure campaign performance and traffic sources
• prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorised activity
• support product improvements and testing
• provide a smoother experience across devices and sessions

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Platform to function properly and securely. Without them, some parts of Vascan may not work.

Examples of what they may do:

• keep you signed in after login
• maintain session state during browsing
• support account authentication
• protect forms from abuse/spam
• remember security-related settings
• enable core page functionality and navigation

Important: Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the Platform, they are generally not optional (subject to applicable law).

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with Vascan so we can improve the platform experience.

Examples of what they may track:

• page views and session duration
• navigation paths (which pages users visit before/after another)
• feature usage (e.g., profile creation, uploads, checkout flow steps)
• performance issues, loading times, and errors
• traffic sources (e.g., organic search, social media, referrals)

Why we use them:

• to improve user experience and product design
• to identify broken flows or drop-off points
• to measure the effectiveness of changes or launches
• to improve platform stability and performance

Functionality / Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make so your experience feels more consistent and personalised.

Examples:

• preferred language or region (if available)
• UI preferences
• dashboard settings
• cookie consent preferences
• previously entered information (where appropriate and secure)

Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

These cookies help us protect the Platform, our users, and transactions by detecting suspicious or abusive behaviour.

Examples:

• identifying unusual login attempts
• helping prevent automated abuse or spam submissions
• maintaining integrity of sessions
• flagging suspicious interactions in sensitive areas (e.g., account, billing, admin)

These may overlap with strictly necessary cookies depending on implementation.

Marketing / Advertising / Attribution Cookies (Where Used)

Vascan may use marketing or attribution cookies to understand how campaigns perform and how users discover the Platform (for example, whether someone joined from a newsletter, ad campaign, or social post).

Examples:

• campaign source attribution (e.g., ad vs. direct vs. referral)
• measuring conversions (e.g., waitlist signups, account creation)
• understanding which marketing channels are most effective

Important: Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential marketing cookies. Vascan does not sell your personal data to advertisers. Advertising/marketing cookies (if used) are primarily for campaign measurement and optimisation.

Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies

These cookies are temporary and usually expire when you close your browser. They are often used for: session continuity, login state, page navigation and security during a browsing session.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period (or until deleted) and are used for: remembering preferences, analytics over time, login convenience (where enabled), cookie consent records.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

These are set directly by Vascan and are generally used for: account sessions, platform functionality, preferences, security, internal analytics (where applicable).

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers we use to operate or improve the Platform, such as providers for:

• analytics
• payment processing
• security / fraud prevention
• customer support tools
• email and campaign measurement
• embedded media or integrations

Third-party providers process data according to their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies where relevant.

How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways.

Where available, Vascan may provide a cookie banner or preference centre that lets you:

• accept all cookies
• reject non-essential cookies

Your preferences may be stored using a cookie so we can remember your choice.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

• view cookies stored on your device
• block some or all cookies
• delete cookies
• clear browsing data
• set preferences for specific websites

Important: If you block or disable certain cookies, parts of Vascan may not function properly (especially login, session continuity, and dashboard-related features).

Device Controls (Mobile)

On mobile devices, you may also manage tracking permissions via device settings (depending on operating system and app/browser).

"Do Not Track" Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how DNT signals must be handled, Vascan may not respond to DNT signals in all cases. You can still manage cookies using your browser settings and any cookie preference tools we provide.

• changes in Vascan features or product workflows
