Cookies policy
Last updated: 5 August 2026. This page explains how Visionary APIs uses cookies on visionaryapis.digital.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep essential functions working, and — if you allow — understand which pages are useful.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies to remember your cookie consent choice and keep basic site functions stable. If you accept analytics cookies, we use them to see which course and Field Notes pages are visited most often so we can improve the curriculum pages — not to build advertising profiles.
Types of cookies
Essential
Required for the consent banner preference and core navigation. These do not require consent beyond what is needed to store your choice, and rejecting analytics does not block course pages or forms.
Analytics
Optional. Used only when you press Accept on the banner. If you Reject, analytics cookies are not set.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| visionaryapis_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject preference for the cookie banner | 1 year (localStorage) | Visionary APIs |
| _va_session | Maintains a short essential session token for form continuity | Session | Visionary APIs |
| _va_analytics | Counts anonymised page views on course and journal pages | 6 months | Visionary APIs (only if accepted) |
Managing or disabling cookies
Use Accept or Reject on our banner when it appears. To change a previous choice, clear site data for visionaryapis.digital in your browser, then reload the page to see the banner again. You can also block cookies entirely in browser settings; essential features such as reading course pages will still work, though the banner may reappear.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may result in network requests to Google’s servers when pages load. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. If we add a third-party analytics provider later, this table will be updated before those cookies are used.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics cookies does not remove access to courses, enrolment forms, or Field Notes. Disabling all cookies in your browser may prevent us from remembering your consent choice, so the banner may show on each visit.
