Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vision Football Club (the “Club”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the proper functionality of our website – https://visionfcrwanda.com (“Site”), and to deliver information to you when you use our Site. 

 

Please read this Cookie Policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy available on our website https://visionfcrwanda.com.


  • DEFINITION OF COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile or handheld device (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit certain pages on the Internet. They are widely used to “remember” when your computer or device accesses this Site. Cookies are stored in your browser and are used to improve your online experience. A cookie will help the Site, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies won’t collect information that directly identifies you as a person and will instead collect more general information such as how visitors arrive at and use our Site. Other cookies collect personal data. Cookies may be used to create a profile of a visitor’s activities on the Internet which can be used (for example) to try to predict the visitor’s preferences. We may use similar techniques, all of which will be referred to in this Cookie Policy as “cookies”.


  • TYPES OF COOKIES

  • Session cookies

 

Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor’s device when the browser is closed.


  • Persistent cookies

 

Persistent cookies are saved on your device for a fixed pre-defined period of time (usually several months) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where the owner of the website you are visiting needs to be able to recognize your device for more than one browsing session. 


  • First party cookies

 

First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site.

We have no control over third-party websites and are not responsible for their content or operation, so please refer to the third-party websites for more information about their cookies.
