Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Vignette Slovakia stores and accesses information (cookies and similar technologies) on your device.
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe (e.g. __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Essential | Set by our payment processor, Stripe, for fraud prevention and to process your card payment securely. Always active — checkout cannot work without it. |
| First-party statistics (wa_sid, wa_vid, wa_fid, wa_consent) | Essential / functional, first-party | Set by our own server — no third party is involved — to count visits and the steps of the order funnel in aggregate; no form field values are stored. wa_sid: session identifier, kept for 30 minutes. wa_vid: visit identifier — a session cookie unless you accept analytics, in which case it is kept for up to 400 days. wa_fid: the time of your first visit, set only after you click "Accept", kept for up to 400 days. wa_consent: remembers your cookie choice. |
| Campaign attribution (gclid, gbraid, wbraid, msclkid, fbclid, ttclid, utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content, __oppref, __obref, __olref, __oaiq) | Marketing attribution, first-party | Set by our own server only when you arrive from an advertisement or a campaign link: they store the campaign parameters and click identifiers contained in that link for up to 90 days, so that an order can be attributed to the advertisement that brought you to the site. The first link that brought you is kept; later visits do not overwrite it. |
| Session analytics managed in our tag container (e.g. Microsoft Clarity) | Non-essential analytics cookie | Records anonymised session behaviour (clicks, scrolling, heatmaps) to help us understand and improve the site. Loaded only after you click "Accept" in the cookie banner — never before. |
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Non-essential analytics cookie | Measures traffic and behaviour on the site to help us understand what's working. Loaded on every visit through Google Tag Manager (required by Google Consent Mode v2), but only sets a cookie and personalises data after you click "Accept" — before that it sends only cookieless, aggregated signals. |
| Google Ads | Non-essential advertising cookie | Measures which ads led to a completed order (conversion tracking), so we know our advertising spend is working. Same Consent Mode v2 behaviour as Google Analytics above — a cookie is only set after you click "Accept". |
Your order form (vehicle, plate, contact details) is held only in your browser's memory while you complete checkout and is not saved once you close the tab or reload the page — it does not use a cookie.
Your cookie choice
The first time you visit, a banner lets you Accept or Reject the non-essential cookies (Google Analytics, Google Ads and session analytics such as Microsoft Clarity). Your choice is remembered on this device — in your browser's local storage under the key cookie-consent and in the wa_consent cookie — so you won't be asked again. If you reject, or have not chosen yet, the Google tags send only cookieless, aggregated signals, and our own statistics use only session identifiers that are not kept between visits. Your choice has no effect on Stripe's essential cookies, on our session-only statistics cookies or on the campaign-attribution cookies, which do not depend on the banner.
To change your choice later, clear this site's browsing data in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will reappear.
Managing cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies at all, you can disable them in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will prevent Stripe from processing your payment, so you will not be able to complete an order.
