Cookie Policy

Home Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Victorstone uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what those technologies do, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal data.

This website is operated by VSG Global Limited, trading as Victorstone, a company registered in England and Wales at 213 City Road, London, EC1V 1JN (Company Number 13538466, VAT No. 432 605 421).

We may update this policy from time to time by amending this page. This version was last updated on 31 August 2026.

What are cookies?

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 provide information to the site’s operators. Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels and software development kits — perform comparable functions, and references to “cookies” in this policy include those technologies.

A cookie set by the website you are visiting is called a first-party cookie. A cookie set by another organisation whose content appears on the page — for example an embedded map — is called a third-party cookie. Cookies may last only for the duration of your visit, known as session cookies, or remain on your device until they expire or you delete them, known as persistent cookies.

The sections below set out the cookies and similar technologies used across this site, grouped by the purpose they serve. Names used by third-party providers may change from time to time without notice to us.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and to keep it secure. The website cannot operate properly without them, so they cannot be switched off through our site.

  • WordPress session cookies (wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-*), set by Victorstone. These confirm whether your browser accepts cookies, and keep authorised staff signed in to manage the website. They are not set for ordinary visitors browsing the site.
  • LiteSpeed Cache, set by Victorstone. Supports page caching so that pages load quickly and are served correctly.
  • Wordfence, MalCare and Sucuri, set by Victorstone and our security providers. These protect the website against malicious traffic, unauthorised access and attacks.
  • Google reCAPTCHA (_GRECAPTCHA), set by Google. Used to distinguish genuine visitors from automated traffic and to protect our enquiry forms from spam and abuse.

Functional cookies

These cookies remember choices you make in order to improve your experience. If you block them, parts of the site may not behave as expected.

  • Weglot, set by Weglot SAS. Remembers the language you have selected so that the site displays in that language on subsequent pages and visits.
  • Comment cookies (comment_author_*, comment_author_email_*, comment_author_url_*), set by Victorstone. If you leave a comment, these remember your name, email address and website so that you do not have to re-enter them.

Third-party content cookies

These cookies are set by external providers whose content is embedded in our pages. They are controlled by those providers rather than by us.

  • Google Maps (NID and related Google cookies), set by Google. Set when an interactive map is displayed, for example on property and development pages.
  • AddToAny, set by AddToAny. Supports the social sharing buttons, so that content can be shared to the platform you choose.

Cookies we do not use

We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites. At the date of this policy this website does not run Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, the Meta (Facebook) pixel, or any comparable analytics or advertising tag. We do not sell personal data.

Other third parties that receive data

Some elements of this website — such as fonts, mapping libraries and interface components — are delivered from third-party content delivery networks, including unpkg, jsDelivr and Cloudflare. These services do not set cookies on our behalf, but because your browser requests files directly from them they will receive your IP address and basic technical information about your device. Their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policies.

How to manage or delete cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies, and to be notified when a cookie is set. The steps differ between browsers, and the help function within your browser will explain the options available to you. You can also find detailed, browser-by-browser guidance at aboutcookies.org.

Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of this website may not function correctly. In particular, your language preference may not be remembered, embedded maps may not display, and our enquiry forms may not submit successfully.

Changes to this policy

We keep this policy under review and may update it to reflect changes to the technologies we use or to legal requirements. Any changes will be published on this page, and the date given above will be revised accordingly.
