Cookie Policy

Vicinity Agency

Last updated: 16 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Vicinity Agency ("Vicinity," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on vicinityagency.com (the "Site"), and the choices you have around them. It should be read alongside our [Privacy Policy].

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and give the site owner insight into how it's used. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

2. The cookies we use

Essential cookies — always active These are necessary for the Site to work properly, such as remembering your cookie consent choices and enabling core functionality like navigation and forms. The Site can't function correctly without them, and they don't require your consent.

Vercel Web Analytics — always active, no cookies used We use Vercel's built-in Web Analytics to see aggregate page-view counts and general site performance. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't collect or store any information that identifies you individually, and doesn't track you across other websites. Because it doesn't rely on cookies or personal identifiers, it doesn't require your consent under this policy.

Analytics cookies — subject to consent We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site: which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how people find us. This helps us improve the Site's content and performance. These cookies collect information in a way that doesn't directly identify you.

Advertising and retargeting cookies — subject to consent We may use advertising pixels, such as the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel or Google Ads tracking, to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns and to show you relevant Vicinity Agency ads on other platforms after you've visited our Site. These cookies may track your activity across other websites.

Some of these categories aren't active on the Site yet. As we introduce them, we'll update this policy and ask for your consent through our cookie banner before any non-essential cookie is set.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on the Site may be set by third parties we work with (for example, analytics or advertising providers). We don't control these cookies directly — their use is governed by the relevant third party's own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:

4. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit the Site, you'll be shown a cookie banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by [clearing your cookie consent via the cookie settings link in the site footer / re-visiting the cookie banner].

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Since browser settings vary, check your browser's help menu for instructions. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site functions.

5. Legal basis

Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act ("POPIA") and, for international visitors, the GDPR's ePrivacy rules, we only set non-essential cookies with your consent, which you're free to withdraw at any time.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes, including when we introduce analytics or advertising tracking that isn't yet active. We'll revise the "Last updated" date above whenever we do.

7. Contact us

Note: this is a template drafted for Vicinity Agency's website and hasn't been reviewed by a South African attorney. Before publishing, fill in the bracketed placeholders, confirm your actual cookie-banner mechanism (e.g. a consent management tool), and update the specific tools listed (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.) once they're actually implemented — don't reference tracking that isn't live yet without flagging it as planned, as this document does.

We use cookies for essential site functionality, and — only with your consent — analytics tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. See our Cookie Policy for details.
