Effective date: [01/04/2026]
Last updated: [01/04/2026]

The website model.viengut.vn (the “Website”) is operated by Vien Gut One Member Limited Liability Company. This Cookie Policy explains how Vien Gut uses cookies and similar technologies when you access the Website.

This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and other legal information published on the Website.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help a website function properly, remember user preferences, support security, measure performance, and in some cases support third-party services.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, script tags, or equivalent technical tools for the same operational and measurement purposes.

2. Scope of application

This policy applies to model.viengut.vn, including academic content pages, policy pages, and contact/research collaboration forms where deployed on the system.

3. Why does Vien Gut use cookies?

We use cookies for the following main purposes:

• To ensure the Website functions properly, securely, and reliably;

• To remember user choices such as language, cookie consent status, or display settings;

• To support the operation of contact forms, technical features, and error detection;

• To measure traffic, page performance, and usage behavior at an aggregated level in order to improve content and user experience;

• To support the display or integration of third-party content where necessary.

4. Categories of cookies we may use

4.1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They may be used for functions such as:

• maintaining a browsing session;

• load balancing or system security;

• remembering cookie consent status;

• supporting navigation, page access, and core operations.

If you block this category of cookies through your browser settings, some parts of the Website may not function properly.

4.2. Functional cookies

These cookies help remember your choices in order to improve your experience, for example:

• display language;

• interface preferences;

• certain convenience settings that you actively choose.

These cookies are not always necessary for the Website to operate.

4.3. Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how users access and use the Website, for example:

• which pages are viewed most often;

• page loading times;

• technical errors;

• the effectiveness of site structure and content.

We prioritize the use of aggregated data or data minimized to the extent necessary. Where non-essential analytics cookies are used, they should only be activated after you provide consent through an appropriate consent management mechanism.

4.4. Third-party cookies or embedded content

Some features or content on the Website may come from third parties, for example:

• contact forms;

• embedded content;

• security or analytics services;

• resources used for rendering, hosting, or technical interaction.

When such services are integrated, third parties may place cookies or access technical information from your browser/device under their own policies. Vien Gut does not fully control third-party cookies, but will seek to use them only where necessary and with transparency.

5. Legal basis for the use of cookies

Depending on the type of cookie, the legal basis for processing may include:

• Legitimate technical necessity / service operation for strictly necessary cookies;

• User consent for non-essential cookies, especially analytics, measurement, personalization, or third-party integration cookies that go beyond core operational needs.

Where applicable law requires an opt-in mechanism for non-essential cookies, Vien Gut will apply such a mechanism through a banner or cookie settings panel.

6. Managing your cookie choices

You may manage cookies in the following ways:

• by using the “Settings” button or cookie management tool on the Website, if available;

• by accepting or rejecting non-essential categories of cookies;

• by changing your browser settings to block, delete, or warn you about cookies;

• by deleting cookies already stored on your device at any time.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may cause certain features of the Website to stop working properly.

7. Retention period

Cookies may be stored for different periods of time:

• Session cookies: automatically expire when you close your browser;

• Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or until you delete them.

The exact duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.

8. Personal data related to cookies

In some cases, data collected through cookies or similar technologies may be considered personal data or user/device-related data, for example:

• truncated IP address or technical IP-related data;

• browser or device identifiers;

• browsing behavior information;

• information about interactions with forms or technical features.

Any processing of such data, where applicable, will be carried out in accordance with the principles of:

• data minimization;

• purpose limitation;

• appropriate security;

• retention only for as long as necessary;

• respect for data subject rights under applicable law.

9. Information sharing and third parties

Vien Gut does not aim to use cookies to sell personal data or conduct large-scale behavioral advertising tracking.

However, if the Website in the future integrates third-party services for analytics, security, forms, embedded content, or technical infrastructure, certain technical data may be processed by the relevant service providers under their own legal role and terms of use. If that occurs, we will update this policy where necessary.

10. Your rights

Depending on the applicable law, you may have one or more of the following rights:

• the right to know how your data is collected and processed;

• the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies;

• the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data where legally permitted;

• the right to object to or restrict certain data processing activities;

• the right to lodge a complaint with a competent authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

Vien Gut may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• changes in law;

• technical changes to the Website;

• changes in third-party services or tools;
