A short, honest account of what this website puts on your device.
Which cookies are set, who sets them, what each one is for, how long it lasts — and how to get rid of them if you would rather not have them.

This Cookie Policy explains how The Vilij Limited (“The Vilij”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally, and our User Terms of Use.
This policy covers this website. Where the Platform sets cookies of its own, those are described when you create an account and sign in.
If anything in this policy is unclear, please contact us using the details in section 9.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to give the site’s operator information about how the site is being used.
Where this policy refers to cookies, it also means similar technologies that do comparable things, such as pixels, tags, software development kits and browser local storage.
Cookies are usually described in two ways. By who sets them:
And by how long they last:
We use cookies to:
This website does not use advertising or ad-targeting cookies, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.
We do not use cookies to identify you personally on this website. The analytics cookies described in section 5 identify a browser, not a person.
Strictly necessary. Cookies that are required for the website to work or to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off through a preference setting, although you can block them in your browser — the website may then not work properly.
Functional. Cookies that remember choices you have made, so that you do not have to make them again.
Analytics and performance. Cookies that tell us how the website is used: which pages are read, how long people stay and where they arrived from. These are not necessary for the website to work.
Advertising and targeting. We do not use these on this website.
This website sets no first-party cookies of its own. The cookies below are set by the third-party services described in section 6.
The cookies that may be set when you visit this website are:
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Category | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __hstc | HubSpot | The main analytics cookie. Records the domain, a visitor identifier, the first and most recent visit and the number of visits. | Analytics | 6 months |
| hubspotutk | HubSpot | Identifies a returning browser so that repeat visits are not counted as new ones. | Analytics | 6 months |
| __hssc | HubSpot | Tracks a single browsing session and whether the visit count needs incrementing. | Analytics | 30 minutes |
| __hssrc | HubSpot | Records whether the visitor has restarted their browser, so a new session can be started. | Analytics | Session |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Distinguishes people from automated traffic. Set only where Cloudflare bot protection is active. | Strictly necessary | 30 minutes |
Cookie names and lifespans are set by the providers named above, not by us, and those providers may change them. The list is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the date of this policy.
You may see other cookies if you follow a link from this website to another organisation’s site. Those cookies are governed by that organisation’s own cookie policy, not this one.
HubSpot. We use HubSpot to understand how the website is used and to manage our newsletter. HubSpot sets the analytics cookies listed in section 5. HubSpot is a data processor acting on our instructions. Its own privacy notice is available at legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.
Google Fonts. The website loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but your IP address is sent to Google in order to deliver the fonts to your browser.
Cloudflare. The website is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare, which may set a strictly necessary cookie to tell real visitors apart from automated traffic and to protect the site from attack.
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks or social media tracking pixels on this website.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you see what has been set, delete it, block cookies from particular sites, or block all cookies.
Blocking all cookies will not stop you reading this website, but blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how reliably it loads.
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode, which clears cookies when you close the window. If you share a device, that may be the simplest option.
If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not currently respond to it automatically. Browser controls remain the reliable way to refuse cookies on this website.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the website, the services we use or applicable law.
The current version is always the one published on this website, and it takes effect from the date shown at the top of this page.
Where we make a material change — for example, if we begin using a new category of cookie — we will say so clearly.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or about how we use cookies, please contact us at privacy@thevilij.co.uk.
Our full company details are set out in section 2 of the Privacy Policy.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK regulator for data protection and electronic marketing, although we would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
