Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how VisaHub International uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

By using our website and services, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, VisaHub International) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that, when enabled, signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, we do not respond to DNT signals because there is no common industry standard for how to interpret them. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

  • Web Beacons: Small graphic images that may be included on our website and emails
