This Cookie Policy explains how Verkada and its vendors use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to recognize you, your device, or your browser when you visit our Website (“Site”). It explains what Cookies are and why we use them, as well as your options to control their use.
We use Cookies to collect and store information about online interactions, including those which may contain personal data about you. These technologies typically work by storing or processing pieces of information or code on or from your device or browser to record your online interactions. These technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, activity on our site, and other technical metadata.
Cookies allow your device or browser to be remembered across online services, such as our Site. Cookies are used to manage a range of activities, including Site features and content, store interactions and searches, analyze performance, and serve personalized content, including advertisements, in our services and on other platforms and sites.
Cookies are deployed either individually or in combination to create a unique ID which corresponds to your device or browser. This unique ID allows us to distinguish your device or browser from other devices and browsers. Many Cookies last only for the duration of your online session with our Site and expire when you close your browser. Others last longer and remember you when you return to our Site, or record what sites you visited before you came to our Site and what sites you visit once you leave.
Depending on where you are in the world, when you first interact with our Site, you may be notified that we use Cookies in our cookie banner. Cookies we use by default will depend on your location, which we may infer through your IP address. You can update your Cookie settings through the Cookie Preference Center, which you can access by selecting the “Your Privacy Choices'' button. Note, if you use a Cookie blocker such as Ghostery, it may block visibility of this tool or link, including in your web footer.
If we detect that you are visiting our Site from the US, you may have the right in some states to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information or “sharing” or disclosure of your personal information to third parties for targeted advertising. Where not legally required, Verkada may offer similar opt-out options voluntarily. Some of the Cookies we use may use your personal information in ways that would be considered a “sale” or “sharing/use for targeted advertising” of your personal information. You may exercise your right to opt out by turning the toggle switch off (it will appear grey) after clicking on the "Your Privacy Choices" button. If you opt out, we will not “share” your personal information for targeted advertising or “sell” your personal information to third parties via these cookies. We may also make available certain contact information, such as name, email address, phone number, mailing address, in a way that is considered a “sale” or “sharing/use for targeted advertising” under certain state laws without using Cookies. To opt out of our sale/sharing for targeted advertising disclosures that are not based on Cookies, please contact us at [email protected]. This is separate from cookie-based opt-outs and allows you to opt out of other data sharing practices not managed through browser cookies. The "Your Privacy Choices" button appears on the footer of our Site and can be used to update your Cookie preferences at any time.
If we detect that you are visiting our Site from Australia, you may opt out of Verkada using “Performance”, “Targeting” or “Social Media” Cookies (described below) by clicking on the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer of the Site and selecting "Reject All" and then "Confirm my Choices".
If we detect that you are visiting our Site from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will only place Performance, Targeting or Social Media Cookies with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the "Your Privacy Choices" button and selecting “Reject All” and then “Confirm my Choices.”
Your Cookie preferences are stored based on requirements under applicable law. After this period, or if we make significant changes to our Cookie Policy or Site functionality, you may be asked to confirm your preferences again. You can update your preferences at any time through the "Your Privacy Choices" button.
If you have enabled Global Privacy Control (GPC) on your browser (including via a plugin), we will honor this as a valid request to opt out of use of Cookies for the “sale” of your personal information or “sharing” or disclosure of your personal information to third parties for targeted advertising for that browser.
We also place contextual advertisements for our services on other websites that may be of interest to our customers and prospects. The advertisements are served based on the content of the website page (and not based on your prior interactions with our Site). Therefore, if you opt-out of targeting cookies on our Site, you may still see our advertisements during your online journey.
In addition to the Your Privacy Choices link or the GPC signal, you can also manage Cookies directly through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow control of Cookies through the browser settings, including blocking all Cookies or deleting existing ones. For detailed instructions to manage Cookies:

Please note that restricting Cookies may impact your experience of our Site and limit the functionality we can provide. Certain features of our Site may not work properly (or at all) when you adjust your Cookie settings, and we may not be able to deliver certain products, services or content to you.
Some jurisdictions require us to identify the legal basis we rely upon to use Cookies. In those jurisdictions, we use Cookies on the basis that they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights), or where you have consented to their use.
We work with partners (third-party providers) to deliver Cookies. Some Cookies are set by us, they are called first-party Cookies; others are set by our partners and they are called third-party Cookies. Information collected from both first party and third-party Cookies may be shared with our partners.
Cookies perform different functions. They help us: provide you with an efficient experience; improve our Site; see how it is performing; deliver advertising to you throughout your online journey, including when interacting with social media networks; remember to deliver your preferences and personalized content; or secure areas of our Site.
We group each Cookie by "purpose" to correspond to the following Cookie types:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These Cookies are necessary for the operation and function of our Site. For example, to allow you to log into secure areas of our Site, or help us deliver our products and services. These Cookies cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of the Site may not work.
Functional Cookies
These Cookies provide enhanced functionality and personalization to the Site. These are used to recognize you when you return or understand where you came from so we can personalise our content and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region), subject to your selections. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Performance Cookies
These Cookies help us recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how they engage with the Site, its specific content and features. They also help us know which pages are the most/least popular and how visitors navigate through the Site. We use performance Cookies for our legitimate interest of improving our Site functionality (for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily) and to help analyze the Site’s performance and usage. Some information derived from these Cookies may be used to make updates to our services and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.
Targeting Cookies
These Cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our Site more relevant to your interests and inform our advertising campaigns online. They may also be used by applicable third parties to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements, including our own, on other sites.
Social Media Cookies
These Cookies are capable of tracking your browser across other sites, including the social media services that we partner with, and build up a profile of your interests. These Cookies may also inform our advertising campaigns on social media and on other sites (for example, by providing you with ads featuring products and services we think may be of interest to you). These Cookies may impact the content and messages you see on other sites you visit and on social media services. Finally, we may use social media Cookies to enable access to our products and services through third party social media platforms.
If you have questions about our use of Cookies or other technologies, please contact us at [email protected].
