At Vision Media, we want to ensure that your visit to our website is smooth, reliable, and as useful to you as possible. Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, we use cookies and similar technologies to help us improve the use and functionality of the website and to better understand how visitors use a website and the tools and services offered on it.

A cookie is a small file of unique letters and numbers that we store on your browser on your computer that web servers pass to your web browser to store on your device to remember information about you as you view websites (like login information and language and security preferences). There are two primary types of cookies that our websites uses: functional cookies and analytic cookies. Many of the cookies we use are called “session cookies” and are automatically deleted after your visit. Others remain in your browser or device until you delete them. On some of our websites, we also use IP addresses to analyze information about the devices that are connecting to our systems to improve usability and to detect possible fraud. Third-party cookies are from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting (like Google) and are usually anonymous, typically for analytics.
