Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 February 2025

This page explains how Cognoscent uses cookies on this website, what each type does, and how you can manage your preferences. For data protection questions more broadly, see our Privacy Policy or contact us at [email protected].

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — whether you've dismissed a notice, accepted terms, or how you navigated the site.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simply data files. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change this in your browser settings.

Cookie types we use

Essential cookies

Always active

Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled. They include the cookie consent preference you set on this page, session security tokens, and basic navigation state.

Duration: Session or up to 12 months

Analytics cookies

Allow us to understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors arrive from. This helps us improve the site. Data is aggregated and anonymised.

Provider: Google Analytics · Duration: Up to 26 months

Marketing cookies

Used to understand which channels bring visitors to the website. May involve third-party advertising networks. Cognoscent does not currently run retargeting campaigns, but enabling these supports basic attribution tracking.

Duration: Up to 90 days

Preference cookies

Remember settings or choices you have made on the website — such as display preferences — so you don't have to set them again on your next visit.

Duration: Up to 12 months

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:

  • Google Analytics: If analytics cookies are accepted, Google Analytics may place cookies to track anonymised usage. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by Google.
  • Google Maps: The embedded map on the home page may set cookies when loaded. This is a Google service; their privacy policy applies.

We do not use social media tracking pixels or advertising network cookies by default.
