Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 24, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how [[LEGAL_BUSINESS_NAME]] (trading as “Virtual Offices In California,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on virtualofficesincalifornia.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.
2. Categories of cookies
- Strictly necessary — required for the Site to function and to keep it secure. These do not require consent.
- Preferences/functional — remember choices you make to improve your experience, and enable optional embedded content such as maps once you allow it.
- Statistics/analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site. (Not currently in use — see section 4.)
- Marketing — used to deliver or measure advertising. (Not currently in use — see section 4.)
3. Cookies and third-party services currently used on this Site
| Name / Service | Provider | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID / session cookies | Virtual Offices In California (first-party) | Maintain your browsing session so the Site functions correctly. | Strictly necessary | Session |
| WordPress & theme functional cookies (e.g. wordpress_*, wp-settings-*) | Virtual Offices In California (first-party) | Core content-management and display/preference functions, set mainly when interacting with site features. | Strictly necessary / Preferences | Session to ~1 year |
| CookieYes consent cookie (cookieyes-consent) | Virtual Offices In California (first-party) | Remembers your cookie consent choices so the banner is not shown on every page. | Strictly necessary | ~1 year |
| Web fonts | Virtual Offices In California (self-hosted) | Delivers the web fonts used to display text. Fonts are served from our own server, so no font data is sent to Google. | Functional | No cookie set; cached locally |
| Google Maps (embedded location maps) | Google LLC | Displays an interactive map of an office location. Loaded only after you give consent via the cookie banner; Google may then set cookies and receive your IP address to deliver the map. | Functional / Marketing | Set by Google when activated (varies) |
The exact first-party cookies present can vary with the WordPress/Elementor features in use. We recommend confirming the current list with an automated cookie scan.
4. Analytics and marketing (planned controls)
The Site does not currently load Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, or similar advertising trackers. If we add any statistics or marketing technologies in the future, we will first deploy a consent banner so that such cookies are set only after you give consent, and we will update the table above accordingly.
5. Your choices and how to manage cookies
Where the law requires consent (for example for analytics or marketing cookies, and for non-essential third-party services such as embedded maps), we ask for your consent through a cookie banner before those technologies are activated, and you can accept or reject them and change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link on the Site.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings — you can delete existing cookies and block new ones. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site from working. Helpful instructions:
6. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or applicable law change. The “Last updated” date above shows when it was last revised.
