Cookie policy

Clear use of cookies and similar technologies.

This Cookie Policy explains how DefendVista uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, what they do, and how you can control them. Essential where needed, optional where consent applies, and no guesswork about what is running on the site.

Essential cookies where required Consent for non-essential cookies WordPress / Elementor stack Cloudflare and analytics-aware

1. Who we are

This website is operated by DefendVista Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales.

Company No: 17064284
ICO Registration: ZC101247
Registered Office: 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, support security, and in some cases measure site usage or improve performance.

Similar technologies may include browser storage, pixels, scripts, tags, or other tools that perform comparable functions.

3. How DefendVista uses cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a limited number of purposes, including:

  • Maintaining essential website functionality
  • Supporting security and performance
  • Remembering user preferences where appropriate
  • Understanding website usage where analytics tools are enabled
  • Supporting forms, embedded services, or CRM integrations where used

Our principle

Essential first. Optional only where justified. Non-essential cookies should not be set unless the user has been given an appropriate choice.

4. Categories of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the site to function securely and properly. They may support page delivery, security controls, session handling, load balancing, or bot protection. These do not usually require consent where they are genuinely essential.

Preference cookies

These remember user choices such as cookie preferences or interface settings.

Analytics cookies

Where enabled, these help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve content, structure, and performance. These should only be used where appropriate notice and consent are in place.

Marketing or tracking cookies

DefendVista does not use advertising-heavy cookie practices as a default. If marketing or CRM tracking tools are enabled in future, these will be identified in this policy and managed through the relevant consent mechanism.

5. Technologies and services that may set cookies

Depending on how the website is configured at the time of your visit, cookies or similar technologies may be set by services such as:

  • WordPress for website functionality, session handling, and logged-in user management
  • Elementor for page rendering and design-related functionality
  • Cloudflare for security, bot management, and performance delivery
  • Analytics tools, where enabled, to understand usage trends
  • CRM, form, or embedded service providers, where a form, calendar, or integration is used

The exact cookies in operation may vary depending on whether features such as forms, embedded content, or analytics are active on a given page.

6. Consent and control

Where non-essential cookies are used, DefendVista aims to provide an appropriate cookie notice or consent mechanism so that you can choose whether to accept them.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • See what cookies are stored
  • Delete cookies
  • Block some or all cookies
  • Restrict cookie behaviour on a per-site basis

Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

You can manage cookies directly through your browser or device settings. Browser help pages generally explain how to delete, block, or restrict cookies.

Browser-level controls apply only to the device and browser you are using at that time.

8. Third-party cookies

If third-party services are embedded on this website, those providers may set their own cookies or similar technologies. Examples may include embedded forms, calendars, videos, maps, or external analytics or CRM tools.

DefendVista does not control third-party cookie practices. You should also review the privacy or cookie information provided by the relevant service provider where appropriate.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, legal requirements, or the technologies we use.

The latest version will always be published on this page.
