What Cookies Are and Why They're Used

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a user's device when they visit a website or application. They help websites remember information about users' preferences, behaviour, and session status to improve their overall experience.

We use cookies for various purposes:

  • To provide a better browsing experience by remembering your language preference
  • To track how you interact with our site so we can make improvements

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website or application to function properly. They manage session information, login persistence, and general browsing functionality.

Some examples of essential cookies include:

  • session_id - used to identify your current browser session
  • login_token - stores a unique token to authenticate users

Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are stored on the user's device for a short period (usually when they close their browser). They manage information about an ongoing browsing or login session.

Persistent cookies, in contrast, remain on a user's device even after closing their browser. These types of cookies track long-term preferences and choices.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help enhance your experience while navigating our site:

  • To remember previous input when filling out forms
  • To recognize and give priority to users who have logged in previously

These types of cookies improve performance by eliminating the need for repetitive information entry or authentication processes.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies. These cookies track how you interact with our site, providing insights on:

  • Your page visits and exit points
  • User demographics and browsing habits
  • Average visit durations and bounce rates

This data helps us improve content offerings and understand user needs better.

Preference and Language Settings Cookies

Cookies are also used to remember users' language preference settings or any specific adjustments made during their last session:

  • Setting a preferred locale based on location or previous interactions
  • Changing layout, font size, or colour schemes
