Cookie Policy

1. Purpose of This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vigilance Networks (“Vigilance Networks,”
“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit
VigilanceNetworks.com,
submit website forms, use interactive website features, or access online
client-support functionality.

This Cookie Policy supplements our
Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains
more broadly how we collect, use, disclose, protect, and retain personal
information.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file or browser-stored identifier that a website
or service may place on your device. Cookies can help a website recognize
a browser or session, maintain security, remember preferences, operate
forms, and provide consistent functionality.

Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, scripts,
tags, pixels, server logs, cache identifiers, security tokens, and other
browser- or server-based technologies used to operate, secure, measure,
or improve a website.

These technologies do not always identify a person by name, but they may
be associated with a browser, device, session, IP address, account, or
other online identifier.

3. How Vigilance Networks Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

Vigilance Networks uses or may use cookies and similar technologies for
legitimate website and service purposes such as:

• Operating and securing the website.
• Maintaining browser or account sessions.
• Supporting contact, consultation, assessment, careers, and service-request forms.
• Supporting client-support or portal functionality.
• Preventing spam, abuse, fraud, or unauthorized activity.
• Remembering limited website or consent preferences where applicable.
• Improving page delivery, caching, performance, and reliability.
• Troubleshooting website errors and technical issues.
• Understanding website usage when analytics technologies are enabled.

4. Current Cookie and Technology Categories

The website is designed primarily around essential, functional, security,
form, support, and performance technologies. The specific cookie names,
providers, and expiration periods may change as website software,
hosting, security services, forms, or support systems are updated.

Strictly Necessary, Security, and Session Technologies

These technologies support essential website operation and may be used
for session management, account security, form security, fraud or abuse
prevention, request validation, authentication, and other functions
necessary to provide or protect the website.

Because these technologies may be necessary for security or core
functionality, they may remain active even when non-essential cookies are
declined. Blocking them through a browser may cause parts of the website,
forms, support tools, or account features to stop working correctly.

Functional and Preference Technologies

Functional technologies may remember limited settings or choices that
improve website usability. Examples may include session state, interface
preferences, consent selections, or settings associated with interactive
website features.

Forms, Assessments, and Anti-Spam Technologies

Contact forms, consultation forms, the Vigilance Score assessment,
careers or employment forms, and other website forms may use cookies,
session identifiers, scripts, security tokens, or similar technologies
to operate the form, validate requests, prevent duplicate or abusive
submissions, reduce spam, maintain session state, and confirm successful
processing.

Client Support and Account Technologies

Client-support, ticketing, login, or account features may use session,
authentication, security, or preference technologies to keep authorized
users signed in, protect accounts, maintain support sessions, and provide
requested portal functionality.

Performance, Caching, and Reliability Technologies

Website hosting, caching, content-delivery, optimization, or performance
technologies may use browser or server-side identifiers to improve page
delivery, reduce load times, manage cached content, detect errors, or
protect website availability.

Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies may be enabled to help us understand website use,
such as page visits, navigation patterns, device or browser categories,
approximate traffic sources, performance, or errors.

We do not use this Cookie Policy to represent that any particular
analytics platform is currently active unless that platform is actually
enabled on the website. If analytics services are added, removed, or
materially changed, we may update this Policy and any applicable consent
controls.

Advertising or Behavioral Personalization Technologies

Advertising or cross-site behavioral personalization is not a core
function of VigilanceNetworks.com as described in this Policy. If
Vigilance Networks later enables advertising, retargeting, or similar
tracking technologies, we will update our disclosures and provide any
consent or opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies

First-party technologies are set or controlled through
VigilanceNetworks.com or the website systems used to provide its core
functionality.

Third-party technologies may be provided by outside
service providers that support hosting, security, forms, support,
communications, payments, analytics, embedded content, scheduling,
performance, or other website functions.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own
contracts, privacy notices, and cookie practices. Vigilance Networks does
not control an independent third party’s separate websites or services
except to the extent required by applicable law or an applicable
contractual obligation.

6. Website Forms and the Vigilance Score

When you submit a contact request, consultation request, Vigilance Score
assessment, employment application, service request, or another website
form, cookies and similar technologies may support form functionality,
session continuity, security, anti-spam protections, request validation,
and successful submission.

The information you type into a form is not itself a cookie. Form
submissions may include personal information and are handled according to
our Privacy Policy and any notice presented
with the applicable form.

7. Client Support, Logins, and Authenticated Sessions

If a client-support center, ticketing system, account login, or other
authenticated feature is used, cookies or similar session technologies
may be necessary to verify the session, maintain login state, protect the
account, prevent unauthorized activity, and provide requested support
functionality.

Users should protect their account credentials and notify Vigilance
Networks promptly if they suspect unauthorized account or portal access.

8. Embedded Content and External Services

Some pages may contain or link to content or functionality provided by
third parties, such as videos, maps, scheduling tools, payment services,
social platforms, or other external resources.

When third-party content is embedded rather than merely linked, the
provider may receive information about the browser or device and may use
its own cookies or similar technologies. The provider’s privacy and cookie
practices may apply to that interaction.

9. Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only during a
browser session and expire after the session ends or the browser is
closed, depending on how the technology is configured.

Persistent cookies can remain on a device after the
browser is closed for a defined period or until they are deleted.

Retention periods depend on the technology’s purpose, provider, security
requirements, and configuration. Because third-party services and website
software may change their cookie names or expiration periods, this Policy
does not promise that a particular cookie will always have the same
duration.

10. Cookie Consent and Preference Controls

Where a cookie banner, consent manager, or preference center is deployed,
you may be able to accept, reject, or adjust categories of non-essential
technologies.

Strictly necessary, security, authentication, and similar technologies may
remain active when they are required to provide or protect the website or
a service you request.

The availability and form of consent controls may depend on your location,
the technologies enabled on the website, and applicable legal
requirements.

11. Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow users to control cookies through browser settings.
Depending on the browser, you may be able to:

• Review stored cookies and site data.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Block all or selected cookies.
• Limit third-party cookies.
• Clear local or session storage.
• Use private or incognito browsing features.

Browser controls vary by product and version. Blocking or deleting cookies
can affect website functionality and may require you to sign in again or
reset preferences.

12. Global Privacy Control and Other Browser Signals

Some browsers or extensions can send browser-based privacy preference
signals, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) or Do Not Track
signals.

Vigilance Networks will respond to legally recognized browser signals
where required by applicable law and technically applicable to the
processing activity involved.

Not all browser signals have the same legal status or technical standard,
and the effect of a signal may depend on the technologies enabled on the
website and the law applicable to the visitor.

13. Website Security and Abuse Prevention

Cookies, security tokens, logs, IP-related information, and similar
technologies may be used to protect VigilanceNetworks.com, website forms,
support systems, and related infrastructure against spam, unauthorized
access, automated abuse, malicious traffic, fraud, or other security
threats.

Vigilance Networks uses reasonable administrative, technical, and
organizational safeguards designed to protect website information.
However, no website, internet connection, electronic transmission, or
storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Children’s Privacy

VigilanceNetworks.com is a general business website and is not directed to
children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies for the purpose of
behavioral advertising to children under 13 through the public website.

Education-sector services provided on behalf of a school or another
authorized client are governed separately by the applicable service
relationship, our Privacy Policy, and any additional student-privacy terms
that may be required.

15. Changes to Website Technologies

Website software, plugins, hosting services, forms, security tools,
support systems, analytics, and other technologies may change over time.
As a result, cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiration periods may
also change.

Vigilance Networks periodically reviews this Policy and may update it when
material website or privacy practices change. If a new technology
materially changes how personal information is collected or used, we will
update disclosures and provide additional choices where required by
applicable law.

16. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website
functionality, technology providers, business practices, or legal
requirements.

The current version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last
Updated” date. Material changes will be communicated through the website
or another reasonable method when required by applicable law.
