What Are Cookies?

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Vault 327 Ltd) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics).

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.

Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics, and other purposes.
