The WIKI (www.vcgwiki.com) is our information blog, which you do not log into and does not require you to enter any information. This is an off-the-shelf system, which uses plugins and add-ons and has its own cookies, etc..., which we have no control over.
We use Zoom for all our Community Events - again this is an off-the-shelf and we have no control over any cookies it may use.
