1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website operator.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a service other than the website you are visiting). Cookies can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on visain.in, why we use them, and how you can control them.

4. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which ensures that Google services (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager) respect your cookie preferences in real time.
How it works:
- When you first visit our website, all Google tracking is set to "denied" by default — no analytics or advertising cookies are placed.
- If you accept analytics and/or advertising cookies via our consent banner, we update Google's consent signals to "granted" for the relevant categories.
- If you later change your preferences (e.g., via the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer), the consent signals are updated immediately.
Consent signals we manage:
| Signal | Category | Default |
|---|---|---|
analytics_storage |
Analytics cookies (GA4) | Denied |
ad_storage |
Advertising cookies (Google Ads, Meta) | Denied |
ad_user_data |
Sending user data to Google for advertising | Denied |
ad_personalization |
Personalised advertising | Denied |
This means that even if our analytics or advertising scripts are loaded, they will not set cookies or collect identifiable data until you grant consent.
