You can change your choices at any time. The button below re-opens the consent banner. Your selection is stored locally and persists for 13 months.

Essential

Always on (no consent required)

Site security, load balancing, and session continuity. Required for the site to work.

Examples
session_id, csrf_token, cf_clearance
Duration
Session to 30 days
  • → Session cookie (24h) — identifies your session
  • → CSRF token (session) — prevents cross-site form forgery
  • → Cloudflare __cf_bm (30min) — bot management

Analytics

Opt-in

Aggregate page-view and performance metrics. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracker. If analytics is enabled, we self-host a counter that records hash(IP + day) and page path. No PII. No cross-site tracking.

Examples
self-hosted count, no Google Analytics
Duration
13 months
  • → Aggregated page-view counts (no per-user identifier)
  • → Self-hosted via Cloudflare Workers + R2

Marketing

Opt-in

Track the source of inbound visits (referrer, UTM parameters) so we can measure which channels work. We do not run retargeting ads. We do not share with ad networks.

Examples
utm_source, utm_campaign
Duration
90 days
  • → UTM parameters (90d) — first-touch attribution
  • → Referrer (session) — last-touch attribution

AEO / AI signals

Opt-in

Tells AI assistants (Claude, GPT, Perplexity, Grok) that they may cite VZU content and use it to train their models. The signal is opt-in; without your consent, robots.txt blocks the major AI crawlers.

Examples
llms.txt, robots.txt AI-crawler allow
Duration
Persistent
  • → robots.txt — meta-tag for AI crawlers
  • → llms.txt — markdown summary of VZU for LLMs
