Last updated: January 24, 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

Vertex Digital Systems LLC (“Vertex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website vertexdigitalsystems.net and uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with that website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and related technologies are, how we use them, what purposes they serve, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes our overall approach to personal data. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except where your consent is required by law and you have not given it.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to the owners of the site, and to improve user experience. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and similar identifiers that can store or access information on your device.

2.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by us or by our website domain. Third-party cookies are set by domains other than vertexdigitalsystems.net, for example by analytics providers, content delivery networks, or embedded content (such as maps or videos). We describe the roles of these cookies in the sections below.

2.2 Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. We use both where appropriate for the function or service in question.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, load balancing, and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they generally do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for marketing. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use the site, but you can configure your browser to block all cookies (with the result that some features may not work).

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and to provide enhanced or more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Disabling these cookies may affect the functionality and experience of the site.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are visited most often, whether users receive error messages, and how they navigate the site). The information is aggregated and used to improve how the website works. We do not use these cookies to identify you personally for marketing purposes, and we do not sell data collected via cookies to third parties for their marketing. Third-party analytics providers may set their own cookies subject to their respective policies.

4. Purposes of Use

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To operate and secure our website and to ensure it functions correctly.
• To remember your preferences and settings where applicable.
• To understand how our website is used so we can improve its performance and content.
• To comply with our legal and contractual obligations where cookie data is involved.

We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites for advertising purposes, and we do not sell cookie-derived data to third parties for their marketing. Where we use third-party services that set cookies (for example, analytics or embedded content), those providers may have their own policies; we encourage you to review them.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content

Our website may include content or features provided by third parties (such as maps, videos, or social plugins). When you interact with such content, those third parties may set their own cookies or similar technologies. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party’s privacy and cookie policies. We select third-party providers with care but are not responsible for their data practices.

6. How You Can Control Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete existing cookies, or set preferences for certain websites. The method for doing so depends on your browser and device; typically you can find these options in the “Settings,” “Options,” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your user experience; for example, some features may not work, or you may need to re-enter information.

6.1 Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” or similar signal. There is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We do not currently alter our cookie practices solely on the basis of these signals, but we respect your choices made through browser cookie settings as described above.

7. Data Retention for Cookie Data

Session cookies are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are retained for the period set in the cookie (which may be from a few minutes to several years depending on purpose). We do not retain cookie-derived data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. For more detail on our general data retention approach, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date where applicable. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.

9. Contact & Cookie Inquiries
