Cookie Policy

Version 1.0 - Effective March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how VistaLink Technologies Ltd ("VistaLink," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or use any of our websites, applications, and services. This policy applies across all VistaLink products, including but not limited to vistalink.com, the Parley consumer application, the VistaLink Hotel Extranet (extranet.vistalink.com), and the VistaLink Developer API and associated portals.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, and local storage.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our websites and services to function properly. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, certain parts of our services cannot be provided. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.

• vl_dev_session: Maintains your authenticated session on the VistaLink Developer Portal. Expires after 7 days.
• oauth_state / oauth_code_verifier: Used during the OAuth sign-in flow (Google, GitHub) to prevent cross-site request forgery. Expire after 10 minutes.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites by collecting and reporting information. The data collected is aggregated and used to improve site performance, content, and user experience.

• Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager): We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage data including pages visited, time on site, referral sources, and general geographic region. Google Analytics may set its own cookies (e.g. _ga, _gid). For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences.

• Theme preference: Stored in your browser's local storage (not as a cookie) to remember your light or dark mode preference across visits.

2.4 Third-Party Service Cookies

Certain third-party services integrated into our platform may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: Used for payment processing on the Developer Portal. Stripe may set cookies to detect fraud and process payments securely. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• Sentry: Used for error monitoring and performance tracking to help us detect and resolve issues. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

3. Session Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser session storage (which is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab) to temporarily store:

• UTM parameters: Campaign attribution data from the URL you used to arrive at our site, used to understand how you found us.

4. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu. You can:

• View and delete existing cookies.
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set.

Please note that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our websites and services. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without losing access to core features such as authentication.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
