1. Current approach
VersusVPN uses strictly necessary technology for security, checkout and features you request. Optional Meta advertising measurement is disabled by default and loads only after you select “Accept advertising measurement”. Rejecting it does not prevent you from using the website or buying the service.
2. Technologies we use
| Purpose | Why it is used | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Security and request handling | Protects forms, checkout and service availability | Session or short-lived |
| Checkout and referral attribution | Remembers the plan, cart and a validated referral code in tab-scoped browser session storage and the current WHMCS cart session, then completes secure payment with the selected provider. No separate long-lived referral cookie is set. | Current browser tab and WHMCS cart session; referral state is cleared when checkout begins or the order completes |
| Privacy preference | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional advertising measurement across the main website and secure client area | Up to 400 days |
| Meta Pixel — optional | Measures page visits, checkout stages, completed trials and purchases, attributes advertising results and helps us improve who sees VersusVPN adverts | Set by Meta according to its policies |
3. Advertising measurement
If you accept optional tracking, the Meta Pixel may send Meta information about the page viewed, checkout reached, checkout form started, payment attempted, completed trial or purchase, browser or device information, identifiers used by Meta and the referring advert. VersusVPN does not send passwords, VPN browsing activity or card details through the pixel. A completed-payment event contains the order value, currency and a non-secret invoice reference so duplicate events can be reduced.
4. Payment provider
When you choose secure checkout, Stripe may set technologies required for payment, fraud prevention and security on its pages. Stripe is responsible for explaining its own use of those technologies.
5. Your controls
Use the “Privacy choices” button on the website to change your optional-tracking decision. You can also remove stored data in your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may stop checkout, account or security features from working. Contact admin@versusvpn.co.uk with questions.
