Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by COGNEXA SOFTWARE LIMITED, Registration No. HE 495932, registered in the Republic of Cyprus.

It explains what may be stored on or read from a visitor’s device and how visitors can control optional website technologies.

1. Your Choice Comes First

A first visit should not silently activate optional measurement or advertising tools. Before a visitor makes a choice, the website may use only technologies that are genuinely required to:

  • deliver requested pages;
  • keep the website secure;
  • operate a login or contact form;
  • maintain a user session;
  • remember a cookie choice;
  • balance traffic or prevent technical abuse where permitted by law.

Other technologies are activated only after the required consent has been given. Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to ordinary informational pages.

2. Cookies and Related Records

A cookie is a small file that a website asks a browser to store on a computer, phone or other device. The website may also use:

  • browser local storage;
  • session storage;
  • tags or pixels;
  • consent identifiers;
  • similar device-based technologies.

The website and its infrastructure may separately generate server logs. Server logs are technical records created by the server and are not cookies stored on the visitor’s device.

3. The Practical Categories

Essential

Essential technologies support a service requested by the visitor or functions required to deliver and protect the website. Examples may include:

  • session continuity;
  • authentication;
  • security controls;
  • contact-form processing;
  • load distribution;
  • cookie-choice storage.

These technologies cannot always be disabled through the consent panel.

Preferences

Preference technologies remember a visitor’s selected settings, such as language, interface options or previously dismissed notices. Where applicable law requires consent, these technologies remain inactive until consent is given.

Measurement

Measurement technologies help Cognexa understand whether pages load correctly and how visitors use the website. They may record information such as:

  • visited pages;
  • approximate session duration;
  • referral source;
  • browser and device category;
  • technical errors;
  • general interaction patterns.

We do not treat analytics cookies as strictly necessary merely because they are useful to us.

Advertising

Cognexa does not activate advertising, retargeting or cross-site profiling tools unless they are deliberately introduced, clearly listed and covered by an appropriate consent mechanism. Assessment responses, candidate profiles and employee information are not used to create advertising audiences.

4. What the Cookie Panel Must Show

Where an optional or third-party technology is active, the cookie panel or connected register should identify, as applicable:

  • its name;
  • its provider;
  • its purpose;
  • its category;
  • how long it operates;
  • whether it is essential or optional.

A cookie register or consent panel, where present, is the operational record of the technologies currently enabled.

The controls should allow visitors to:

  • accept optional categories;
  • reject optional categories;
  • choose categories individually;
  • revisit a previous choice;
  • withdraw consent.

Optional categories must not be pre-selected.

The website may remember a choice without treating that choice as permission for unrelated tracking.

5. Changing or Removing a Choice

A visitor may change a cookie choice through the cookie-settings control made available on the website.

Cookies may also be removed or blocked through browser settings. Browser controls commonly allow users to:

  • view stored cookies;
  • delete individual or all cookies;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • block storage from a selected website;
  • clear site data when the browser closes.

Blocking essential storage may prevent login, forms or other requested functions from working correctly.

Withdrawal applies from the time it is made and does not undo processing that occurred while valid consent was active.

6. Information Produced by Website Technologies

Depending on the website configuration, cookies and related technologies may generate:

  • IP address;
  • browser and operating-system details;
  • device category;
  • page and navigation information;
  • time of access;
  • referral information;
  • session or consent identifier;
  • error and performance records.

Where such information identifies or can be linked to an individual, it is handled as personal data under the Privacy Policy.

7. External Providers and International Processing

Some website functions may rely on external hosting, security, form, analytics or content providers.

A third-party service may receive technical information when its feature is loaded or used.

Where optional third-party technology is involved, it must be reflected in the website’s consent controls.

Information may be processed outside the European Economic Area. Where required, Cognexa applies a lawful transfer mechanism and safeguards appropriate to the information and service involved.

8. Retention, Questions and Revisions

Session cookies normally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain for the period shown in the cookie register or until they are removed.

Cognexa does not retain cookie-derived information longer than reasonably required for the stated operational, security, preference or measurement purpose.

Questions about website technologies may be submitted through the website contact form and marked “Cookie Question”.

This Cookie Policy may be revised when website technologies or consent arrangements change. The version displayed on the website applies to subsequent visits.
