Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how VerityCodeLabs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, access our online services, or interact with relevant web pages for VerityPOS.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
We use cookies and similar technologies where necessary to operate our website, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website usage, and support other purposes disclosed to you.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They help websites recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember preferences, and support certain website functions.
We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts, depending on the functionality implemented on our website.
These technologies may collect information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, approximate usage patterns, session identifiers, and interactions with website features. The information collected depends on the technology used and your settings.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
The following categories describe the types of cookies that may be used on our website. The categories that actually apply depend on the technologies we implement.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential website functions, such as maintaining sessions, protecting forms, applying security measures, and remembering settings required for a requested service.
They may be necessary for the website to function properly and cannot always be disabled through our website controls. Where required, we will provide appropriate information about their use.
3.2 Functional and Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as language, display preferences, or other settings, to provide a more consistent experience.
If disabled, some preferences may not be retained between visits.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
If analytics tools are enabled, these cookies or similar technologies may help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are visited, how users navigate between pages, and whether technical errors occur.
We may use these insights to improve website performance, content, usability, and the presentation of VerityPOS features.
Analytics technologies will be used subject to applicable consent requirements and the settings made available to visitors.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
If we implement advertising or marketing technologies, they may be used to measure advertising performance, understand campaign interactions, or support relevant advertising.
These technologies may be provided by third parties and may allow information to be collected across websites or services, depending on the provider’s practices.
We will disclose applicable technologies and provide the required choices before using non-essential marketing cookies where consent is required.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by our website or the domain you are visiting.
Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose services may be integrated into our website, such as analytics, video hosting, embedded content, or advertising services.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies when using their services.
The use of a third-party service does not mean that every visit to our website necessarily creates a third-party cookie. Actual behavior depends on the integration and its configuration.
5. How We Use Cookies
Depending on the technologies enabled, we may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep website sessions functioning.
- Protect the website against unauthorized activity and abuse.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Measure website traffic and understand visitor interactions.
- Identify technical errors and improve performance.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
- Support embedded content or integrations that you choose to use.
We do not intend to use cookies to collect information beyond the purposes disclosed in this policy and our applicable privacy notices.
6. Cookie Preferences and Consent
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing or activating non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
If a cookie preference tool is available on our website, you may use it to:
- Accept all available cookie categories.
- Reject non-essential cookies.
- Select individual categories.
- Change or withdraw your preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate where they are required for the website or a service you have requested, subject to applicable law.
Withdrawing consent does not retroactively invalidate processing that was lawful before withdrawal. It may, however, prevent future non-essential tracking through the relevant technologies.
If our website does not provide a cookie preference tool, you may also manage cookies through your browser settings, subject to the limitations described below.
7. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to view, block, restrict, or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings.
You can typically find these options in your browser’s settings under sections such as Privacy, Security, or Cookies and Site Data.
You may also be able to configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to store a cookie.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may:
- Cause some website features to stop working properly.
- Require you to re-enter information or preferences.
- Sign you out of a session.
- Affect embedded content or third-party integrations.
Browser controls may not disable every form of tracking, including some technologies that operate differently from conventional cookies.
8. Cookie Retention
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
- Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
Retention periods vary depending on the cookie’s purpose and provider. We aim to use appropriate retention periods and avoid keeping information longer than necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to legal and operational requirements.
The actual expiration periods of cookies used on our website should be confirmed in our cookie inventory or preference tool.
9. Personal Information and Privacy
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect or relate to personal information, particularly when they are linked to an identifiable user, account, or device.
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
We handle personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), where applicable.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to be informed, access information, object to certain processing, and request correction or erasure where legally applicable.

10. Cookies Used in the VerityPOS Platform
VerityPOS may include a cloud management portal and other browser-accessible services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies for functions such as authentication, session management, security, and user preferences.
The technologies used by the VerityPOS website may differ from those used by the authenticated cloud portal.
Cookies used to maintain an authenticated session are distinct from the local storage or database mechanisms that may support offline-capable POS terminal operations.
For clarity, this Cookies Policy does not mean that every VerityPOS terminal uses browser cookies to store sales or inventory records. Local transaction storage and synchronization are governed by the platform’s architecture, applicable service terms, and Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in our website, technologies, business operations, or legal obligations.
When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice where appropriate or required by law.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
