Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Data Annotation Vendors uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on dataannotationvendors.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse our site after reviewing available choices, you acknowledge the practices described here subject to your consent preferences and applicable law.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function, remember preferences, measure usage, and—in some cases—support marketing activities. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and SDK identifiers.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to operate a secure and usable B2B website, understand aggregate visitor behavior, improve content and navigation, measure campaign performance, and—where permitted—support professional retargeting. We configure tools to minimize unnecessary personal data collection and honor applicable consent requirements in the EEA, UK, and other regulated regions.

3. Categories of cookies

3.1 Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for core website functionality and security. They may support load balancing, session integrity, form submission protection, cookie consent storage, and fraud prevention. These cookies do not require consent in many jurisdictions because the site cannot function properly without them.

• Session and security tokens for form and admin protection.
• Cookie consent preference storage.
• Load distribution and basic performance stability.

3.2 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect pseudonymous information about how visitors use our website—pages viewed, referral sources, device type, and approximate geography. We use this data in aggregate to improve site structure, measure content effectiveness, and allocate marketing resources responsibly. Common providers include Google Analytics or comparable enterprise analytics platforms.

• Page views, events, and navigation paths.
• Traffic source and campaign attribution.
• Device, browser, and approximate location (IP-derived).

3.3 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or deliver relevant professional content on third-party platforms. We deploy marketing cookies only where permitted by law and, where required, after you provide consent through our cookie banner or settings panel.

• Conversion tracking for B2B ad campaigns.
• Audience measurement on professional networks.
• Retargeting to prior website visitors where allowed.

4. Cookie duration

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Retention periods vary by purpose—consent records may persist up to twelve months, analytics cookies often persist two to twenty-four months depending on configuration, and essential session cookies expire at session end.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party providers that deliver analytics, embedded media, or advertising services. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We select vendors with reasonable security and data protection commitments and limit data sharing to what is necessary for the stated purpose.

6. Managing your preferences

On your first visit, you may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize categories through our consent interface where displayed. You can also manage cookies through browser settings—blocking all cookies may impair site functionality.

• Use our on-site cookie settings link in the footer when available.
• Adjust browser privacy settings to block or delete cookies.
• Install Google Analytics opt-out browser add-ons where applicable.
• Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where legally recognized.

7. Do Not Track

There is no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals. We treat legally recognized opt-out mechanisms, including GPC where applicable, as valid expressions of preference to the extent required by law.

8. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change technologies, vendors, or legal requirements. Revised versions will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes may be highlighted through the consent banner.

9. Relationship to Privacy Policy

Information collected through cookies may constitute personal data under GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws. Our Privacy Policy explains how we use, retain, share, and protect personal information collected online and through business relationships. Cookie data is subject to the same security and retention principles described there.

10. Enterprise client portals

Authenticated client workspaces or project portals may use additional session cookies necessary for secure access. Those environments are governed by contractual security schedules in addition to this public Cookie Policy.
