Your privacy matters. This page explains how we use cookies on the Global Vista Locations website.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and will be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the website. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted once you close your browser.
Think of cookies like little helpers that remember your preferences and actions on a website. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your language preferences, login details, and the pages you have visited. This information is used to improve your browsing experience and to personalize the content and advertisements you see.

You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website. For example, declining cookies might mean you have to manually re-enter your location preferences each time you visit the site, instead of the site remembering them for you. It may also affect our ability to present personalized location recommendations based on your previous browsing history.
