Site policy

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how visionarydreamslab.info uses cookies and similar technologies, what each category does, and how you can control them. It should be read together with the privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They allow the site to remember information between page loads or across visits, such as whether you have already submitted a form or which pages you have viewed. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.

A cookie does not run programs and does not carry viruses. It holds a short record that the site can read back the next time your browser requests a page, which is how the site recognises a returning visitor and keeps a single session consistent while you move between pages such as the focus methods library or the FAQ.

Two durations are worth distinguishing. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser, and they support things like a form you have not submitted yet. Persistent cookies stay for a set period so the site can remember a choice on your next visit. The list below separates what we set by purpose, not by duration.

Why it matters here

A reading site about visual focus should not be the reason your screen feels busier. We keep the cookie set small, we do not sell data, and we do not build advertising profiles from visits to method pages.

How each cookie category works

The site sets a small number of cookies, and each one belongs to a named category. The cells below describe what the category does, whether you can switch it off, and what happens if you do. The three categories are the whole set; there is no hidden fourth group used for advertising.

Essential cookies

Required

Essential cookies are required for the site to function. They support basic features such as form submission, security checks that prevent automated abuse, and load balancing. Without them, a form cannot be delivered reliably and the site cannot tell a genuine visitor from an automated request.

These cookies cannot be switched off through the site because the site does not work correctly without them. They can be blocked in your browser, though some features may then fail. If a contact form stops submitting after you block cookies, that is the likely cause.

Consent not required

Analytics cookies

Optional

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and where they leave. The data is aggregated and used to improve content and navigation, so an explanation that readers abandon halfway can be rewritten.

These cookies are optional and are set only where consent is required and given. If you decline, the pages still open and read the same; we simply receive no record of that visit.

Opt-in where required

Third-party cookies

Service only

Some cookies may be set by services that support the site, such as a hosting or analytics provider. These third parties process data according to their own policies, which we recommend reading if you want the full picture.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell cookie data. A third-party cookie here exists to serve a page or count a visit, not to follow you across other sites.

Own provider terms apply

How to control cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways, and none of them require an account or a request to us. The routes below run from the most permanent to the lightest touch.

Adjust your browser settings

Block or delete cookies generally, or allow them only for the sites you trust. Every mainstream browser exposes this under its privacy or site-data settings, and you can usually add an exception for a single domain.

Applies to all sites

Use private or incognito browsing

Private windows limit persistent storage by discarding it when the window closes. Useful for a quick read of a methods page when you would rather not leave a record on a shared computer.

Limits persistence

Withdraw consent for optional cookies

Where a consent control is provided on the site, you can change your answer at any time. Withdrawal takes effect from that point; it does not erase aggregated records already collected before you changed your choice.

Optional only

Clear cookies after a visit

Clearing cookies may sign you out of any stored preferences and reset consent choices, so the site may ask again on your next visit. That reset is expected behaviour rather than a fault.

Resets choices

Do Not Track and browser signals

Browsers can send Do Not Track signals, and there is no common standard for how sites should respond. Some browsers also offer global opt-out preference signals that carry more weight in several jurisdictions. Where required by local law, we honour applicable opt-out preference signals for optional analytics.

Essential cookies continue to operate because they are necessary for the site to function, and a signal cannot switch them off without breaking forms and security checks. If you want those blocked as well, your browser settings are the right place to do it.

Signals we read

  • Do Not Track header
  • Global opt-out preference
  • Consent choice stored by the site

Optional analytics stay off unless a choice allows them. Essential cookies remain active in every case.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the cookies used on the site change or when the law requires it. The current version is always published on this page, so the version you are reading is the one in force. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date.

Small edits, such as correcting a description of what a cookie does, may appear without a notice. If a change affects a choice you already made, the site will ask for that choice again rather than assume it.

Questions about cookies

A few points come up often. If yours is not here, send it through the contact page and we will answer it in plain language rather than legal shorthand.

Do I have to accept cookies to read the site?

No. Every page, from the focus methods library to the FAQ, opens and reads normally without optional cookies. Accepting analytics simply lets us count the visit. Declining does not limit what you can read.

Will blocking cookies stop the contact form from working?

It can. The form relies on an essential security cookie to confirm that a submission comes from a real visitor. If you block all cookies for this domain, the form may fail to send. Allow cookies for visionarydreamslab.info, or write to [email protected] instead.

Does this site use cookies to show advertising?

No. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell cookie data. Cookies on this site exist to keep it working and, where you allow it, to count which pages are read.

How are local storage and cookies different?

Cookies travel with a request to the server, while local storage stays in the browser and is read by page scripts. Both can remember a choice or a preference, both are cleared when you delete site data, and both are covered by this policy.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page. We answer cookie questions the same way we answer method questions: with a clear description of what happens and why, and a note on what you can change.
