What are cookies and how do they work?

“Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the website to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Like most websites, we use different categories of cookies for a variety of purposes in order to improve your online experience.

Depending on the purpose, we use session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser until is cleared.

What are the categories of cookies?

Cookies can be categorised, following the International Chamber of Commerce guide, as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies

‘Strictly necessary cookies’ tend to be session cookies which are deleted at the end of the browser session.

Advertising Cookies

Upon occasion, our firm advertises on certain media sites. In order to track ad performance, we place third party cookies from the ad partners. The ad partners may track anonymous site usage behaviour on Katalysys and link it to other information they have associated with your IP address.
