VWO uses persistent visitor-level and local storage cookies to understand visitor’s behaviour and track visitor journeys on the website to deliver the best experience. The cookies track the variation a visitor views and help serve the same variation to the visitor consistently, track their goals, and determine whether they are part of a campaign, and so on. VWO uses different cookies, each storing a different set of data. The cookies do not interfere with the loading or functioning of the website. NOTE: The only information that VWO collects about a cookie is a visitor ID, viz., a UUID that does not contain any personal data. A typical UUID looks like 4201E4DB-4C25-BA4DD31-C137C718D30E. It helps distinguish one visitor from another. This means no individual or consumer can be tracked or identified by VWO. |
