1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to website owners.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (pixel tags), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies.”
2. Cookies We Use
Virtual Office Zug uses three categories of cookies: essential cookies (required for the site to function), analytics cookies (to understand how visitors use the site), and marketing cookies (for advertising purposes). You can opt out of analytics and marketing cookies at any time.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting privacy preferences, or filling in forms.
- Session cookies: Maintain your session across page visits. Deleted when you close your browser.
- Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks on forms and checkout pages.
- Cookie consent: Records your cookie consent preferences.
- WooCommerce/MemberPress cookies: Required for your account, checkout, and subscription functionality.
You cannot opt out of essential cookies as the site cannot function without them.
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to improve our site and services.
- Google Analytics (GA4): Tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behaviour. Data is anonymised and aggregated. IP addresses are truncated.
- Hotjar (if active): Records mouse movements, scroll depth, and heatmaps to improve user experience. No personally identifiable information is captured.
5. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies track your visits across websites to display relevant advertising. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
- Google Ads: Conversion tracking cookies that record when a visitor who has clicked on a Google ad completes a purchase.
- Meta Pixel (if active): Facebook pixel for conversion tracking and remarketing audiences.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag (if active): LinkedIn conversion tracking for B2B campaigns.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some of our pages embed third-party content or services that may set their own cookies:
- Calendly: Our consultation booking widget may set cookies for session management.
- YouTube/Vimeo: Any embedded video content sets cookies from those platforms.
- Stripe: Our payment processor sets cookies required for secure checkout and fraud prevention.
We do not control the cookies set by third parties. Please refer to each provider’s privacy policy for details.
7. How to Opt Out

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
