1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vertano Agency (“Vertano”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on vertanoagency.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Vertano operates from the United Kingdom and serves clients worldwide. Because of that, this policy is written to comply with the most relevant frameworks for visitors regardless of where they are located.

2. Legal frameworks we follow

Depending on where you visit from, one or more of the following laws apply to how we use cookies and similar technologies:

• United Kingdom — UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Enforced by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
• European Economic Area — the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC as implemented in each EU/EEA member state.
• Switzerland — the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP).
• Western Balkans — including Serbia (Personal Data Protection Act / ZZPL, “Sl. glasnik RS” 87/2018), Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo, whose laws closely mirror the GDPR.
• United States — sector- and state-level laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act / CPRA, Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA and others granting opt-out rights for “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising.
• Canada — PIPEDA and provincial equivalents (Quebec Law 25).
• Brazil — Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law 13.709/2018).
• Other jurisdictions — Australia (Privacy Act 1988), South Africa (POPIA), UAE, Singapore (PDPA), Japan (APPI), South Korea (PIPA) and similar regimes.

Where these laws differ, we apply the more protective standard for our visitors.
