Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how VIP Affiliate Network Ltd (“we”, “us” or “our”), the operator of StoreSearch.net (the “Site”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with the Site.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we process information relating to visitors to the Site.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.
We may also use similar technologies, including tags, scripts, local storage or other technologies that enable information to be stored on or accessed from your device or that assist with measuring interactions with the Site.
In this Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies”.
3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site is an informational search and directory website. We do not require you to create an account and we do not set advertising or behavioural-profiling cookies of our own. We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary
These technologies are required for the operation, security or functionality of the Site, such as maintaining your browsing session, protecting our forms against cross-site request forgery, remembering that you have seen our cookie notice, and protecting the Site against malicious traffic. Where applicable law permits their use without consent, they may operate automatically.
Analytics and Performance
We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics service to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate, such as which pages are visited and how visitors arrive at the Site. This information is used to measure and improve the performance and usability of the Site. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites.
Affiliate Attribution, Deals and Performance Measurement
The Site is commercially supported through affiliate relationships with third-party merchants, service providers and affiliate networks. Some stores, deals or other offers displayed on the Site may be made available to us as a result of those commercial relationships.
We may receive a commission or other compensation where a user follows an affiliate link and subsequently completes a qualifying action.
Affiliate tracking technologies may be used to record that a referral originated from the Site, attribute qualifying actions or transactions to us, measure the performance of our affiliate partnerships and determine whether a commission or other compensation is payable.
Depending on the relevant affiliate arrangement, these technologies may process information such as affiliate or campaign identifiers, click identifiers, referring pages, timestamps and information indicating whether a qualifying action subsequently occurred.
These affiliate tracking technologies are set by the relevant third-party network at the point you leave the Site and are subject to that network's own cookie and privacy information. Consent to affiliate attribution does not automatically constitute consent to unrelated advertising, behavioural profiling or remarketing technologies.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be operated by us, while others may be provided or controlled by third parties, such as our analytics provider, our content-delivery and security provider, merchants and affiliate networks. Third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

This Cookie Policy applies to technologies used through the Site and does not govern technologies independently deployed by third parties after you leave the Site.
