1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It lets the site remember things between page loads, such as whether you are signed in. Similar technologies including local storage and session storage are covered by this policy too.
2. Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not run retargeting pixels and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks. Non-essential cookies are set only after you consent.
3. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site and client area to work. They cannot be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Maintains your session between pages | End of browser session |
blesta_sid | Keeps you signed in to the client area | End of browser session |
csrf_token | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | End of browser session |
padu_cookie_consent | Records your cookie choices so we stop asking | 12 months |
Functional
These remember your preferences. The site works without them, but less conveniently.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
padu_currency | Remembers your display currency | 12 months |
padu-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Kept in local storage, not as a cookie | Until you clear it |
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful. These cookies are set only with your consent. The data is aggregated rather than used to identify you individually.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes visitors so that visits can be counted (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
_ga_* | Keeps track of the current visit (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
4. Third-party cookies
Some pages load resources from third parties, such as web fonts and payment provider scripts at checkout. Those providers may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies. We do not control them.
5. Managing cookies
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of this site. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the client area from working.
