This Cookie Policy explains how VAOS uses cookies and similar technologies on https://vaos.es and related public website pages.
The public website now uses an internal VAOS consent flow. Cookiebot is no longer the active consent provider on the VAOS public website.
This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy. Consent choices on the public website are stored separately from any settings that may apply to https://app.vaos.es.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an online service.

These technologies are required for website operation, security or core consent handling.
They may be used for:
Strictly necessary technologies do not require optional analytics or marketing consent where they are legally and technically necessary for the website to function.
VAOS also uses Umami as Essential minimal aggregated pageview measurement on the public website. Umami is treated as Essential in this public website consent model and is disclosed here for transparency.

Analytics technologies are optional and are enabled only when you grant Analytics consent.
Marketing technologies help us measure campaigns and related advertising performance.
Marketing technologies are optional and are enabled only when you grant Marketing consent.
When you first visit the public website, VAOS displays a bottom banner that lets you choose:
Accept all
Reject optional
Manage preferences
Accepting optional technologies is not required to access the website. Essential technologies remain active because they are required for website operation and security.
You can change your preferences at any time through the floating cookie settings button available after your first saved decision.
If the stored consent cookie is missing, malformed, expired or uses an old consent version, the website shows the consent banner again.
