Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Idforia uses cookies and similar technologies and the options available to you.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device and store information about your preferences or actions.
We also use local storage, session storage, pixels, and device identifiers to provide similar functionality.
2. Types of cookies we use
- Essential cookies: Required to log in, secure your account, prevent fraud, and perform transactions. These operate on our legitimate interests and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
- Performance cookies: Help us understand how you interact with Idforia so we can improve features and fix bugs. Where required, these only run after you consent to analytics.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language, theme, and accessibility settings.
- Analytics & advertising cookies: Used to measure campaign effectiveness and show relevant content. These load only after you choose “Accept all” or enable analytics/advertising in the preference panel.
3. Managing your preferences
On your first visit, a banner allows you to Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage settings for analytics and advertising cookies. We record your selection in a first-party preference cookie (or local storage) for up to 12 months and apply it across your sessions.
- Change your decision anytime via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer or your account settings; this reopens the same controls you saw in the banner.
- When you withdraw consent, we stop sending analytics/advertising signals and clear previously set non-essential cookies where feasible.
- Browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies. Doing so may remove your stored preferences, prompting us to ask again.
- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are honored as opt-outs of sale/sharing and non-essential tracking where technically supported.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties when you interact with embedded content, social sharing buttons, or payment providers. These third parties may collect data about your online activities across websites. Review their privacy policies to learn more.
5. Retention
Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until they expire or you delete them. Preference cookies that store your consent choices typically last up to 12 months so we can honor your settings without asking repeatedly.
6. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or regulatory requirements. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
