Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Vigernette uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them. It applies to this website.
The sections below describe the categories of cookies that may be used on vigernette.com, why they are used, and the choices available to you through your browser and, where relevant, through consent controls. For questions about personal data more broadly, see the privacy policy.

This page is a plain-language guide to cookies on the Vigernette route-planning resource. No account or registration is needed to read it.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways. Cookies are not programs and cannot access other files on your device. They are widely used to make websites function and to provide information to site operators.
On a route-planning resource like Vigernette, that can mean keeping a page stable while you read, remembering a display choice you made, or seeing which corridor guides are opened most often so the content can be kept clear and current.
Why cookies are used here
Cookies are used to operate the site correctly, to remember choices you make, and to understand how visitors use the pages so the content can be improved. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work; others are optional and depend on your consent where the law requires it.
The specific cookies in use can change as the site and its tools develop. When a tool is added or removed, this page is updated so the description here stays aligned with what a visitor actually meets in the browser.
In this policy
Good to know
Blocking all cookies may affect how pages behave. Optional cookies can be declined without blocking the parts of the site that do not depend on them.
Short version: necessary cookies keep the site working. Everything else is optional and stays off until you agree, where the law asks for agreement.
Categories of cookies
Cookies on this site fall into a small number of categories. The categories that actually apply depend on the tools in use at the time of your visit.
Category A
Strictly necessary
Always on
Site function
Category B
Preference
Optional
Remembers settings
Category C
Analytics
With consent
Aggregated use
Category D
Third-party services
As used
Provider purpose
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the site to function and cannot be switched off through the site itself. Preference and analytics cookies are optional. Where analytics cookies are used, they help understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to work, for example to keep a session stable or to remember a consent choice. They do not track you for advertising and are not used to build a profile.
Because they are needed for the site to function, they cannot be disabled through the site's own controls. You can block them in your browser, but parts of the site may then not work as intended, such as remembering that you already answered a consent prompt.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as language or display settings, so you do not have to set them again on each visit. They are optional and are used only where such settings exist.
Disabling them means the site may not remember your choices. They do not track your activity across other sites, and they do not change the route guidance itself — they only keep the reading setup you picked.
Analytics cookies
Where analytics cookies are used, they help the site understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site, so the content can be improved. They are optional and are used only with consent where the law requires it.
The information they provide is generally aggregated — patterns across many visits, such as which driving guides get opened together — rather than a record tied to one person. You can decline them without affecting the parts of the site that do not depend on them.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on the site, such as hosting or analytics providers. Those providers have their own policies, which are separate from this one.
Where such cookies are used, they are limited to the purpose the service serves — for example, delivering pages reliably or counting visits. The full position for a given provider is set out in that provider's own cookie and privacy documentation.
A practical way to think about it: necessary cookies are the road surface, preference cookies are your seat setting, analytics cookies are traffic counts, and third-party cookies belong to the contractor who maintains a stretch of that road.
You stay in control of optional cookies
Use your browser settings to view, delete and block cookies. Where consent controls are shown on the site, use them to accept or decline optional cookies at any time.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings, which allow you to view, delete and block cookies, and to set preferences for different sites. Browser help pages explain the specific steps for each browser, and the wording differs slightly between them.
View and delete cookies already stored
Open your browser's privacy or history settings and look for stored site data. You can remove cookies for vigernette.com alone or clear all stored cookies. After clearing, preference choices such as display settings will return to their defaults.
Block some or all cookies
Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or allow exceptions for sites you trust. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site works, including consent memories and any saved display choices.
Use on-site consent controls where shown
Where consent controls are provided on the site, you can use them to accept or decline optional cookies without changing browser-wide settings. This is the simplest way to adjust one site while leaving other sites untouched.
Consent and changes to your choice
Where the law requires consent for optional cookies, the site asks for it before those cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the available controls or your browser.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal. Your choice applies to future visits through the same browser unless you clear it, for example by deleting site data or resetting permissions.
Step by step
-
1. Decide what you want to keep
Keep necessary cookies on so pages work. Then choose whether saved preferences and aggregated visit counts are useful to you.
-
2. Set it where it fits
Use the on-site controls for this site only, or your browser settings when you want the same rule across many sites.
-
3. Revisit when things change
If you clear browser data, get a new device, or see a new consent prompt, check the choice again. It takes less than a minute.
