Prophius has developed this policy to provide you with information about our use of cookies and the choices you have.

What is a Cookie?

‍
A ‘cookie’ is a small text file or piece of data that is sent from a website and stored on a user’s device (computer, tablet, mobile device etc) when the user accesses the website. Cookies can be thought of as a form of identification that allows a website to recognise a user’s device and remember certain preferences from previous visits.

‍
Whenever you visit a website for the first time, cookie(s) are downloaded onto your device for a number of reasons. Cookies have numerous uses, such as making websites work more efficiently and retaining user preferences.

‍
Duration & Responsible Party

‍
Our Cookies can either be ‘session’ or ‘persistent’ cookies. This relates to the duration the cookie stays on a user’s device. A session cookie is deemed as less intrusive than a persistent cookie because it expires after the session ends (i.e., when the user exits the website). Session cookies relate only to the current browsing session.

‍
Persistent cookies last for longer than the current browsing session and are stored on the user’s device for use during return visits to the website. These allow a user’s actions and/or preferences to be remembered in-between sessions.

‍
We employ the use of ‘first-party cookies’ which are managed by us and also ‘third-party cookies’, managed by third parties. We however provide the option to turn off third-party cookies.
