What cookies and similar technologies this site uses, and how to control them.
Last updated October 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how VA Medical Opinions (“VAMO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on vamo.vet, and how you can control them. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage and tracking pixels, work in much the same way. Some are set by us (first-party); others are set by the services we use (third-party).
How We Use Them
We manage our optional analytics and advertising tools through Google Tag Manager, using Google Consent Mode. Nothing optional is stored on your device until you allow it in the cookie banner.
Cookies and similar technologies on this site
| Category | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site secure, delivers pages, and remembers your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off. | Your saved cookie choice (browser local storage, kept until you change it); security and performance cookies set by our hosting provider |
| Analytics | Shows us how visitors arrive at and use the site, such as pages viewed and time on page, so we can improve it. Off until you allow it. | Google Analytics: _ga and _ga_* (up to 2 years) |
| Advertising | Measures the results of our advertising and helps show relevant ads on other platforms. Off until you allow it, and always off if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. | Google Ads and the other advertising platforms we use, for example _gcl_au (typically up to 90 days) |
| Embedded content | Some pages embed our secure request forms. The form provider may set its own cookies when the form loads, under its own privacy policy. | Jotform |
Google Consent Mode
When analytics or advertising cookies are declined, Google tags may still send limited signals without cookies, such as that a page was viewed, so that overall results can be estimated. These signals do not read or store identifiers on your device. Google explains how it uses this information in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your Choices
- Use the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of any page to change your choice at any time.
- Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser to opt out of advertising cookies automatically.
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. All About Cookies explains how for each major browser.
Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site, such as the request forms, from working.
