How We Use Cookies
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
Content Management System
Our Content Management System (CMS) is called Craft CMS which requires cookies to function. It uses the following cookies.
PHP Session
Craft relies on PHP sessions to maintain sessions across web requests. That is done via the PHP session cookie called "CraftSessionId". This cookie expires as soon as the visitors browsing session expires.
CSRF
A cookie named CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN will be created to facilitate protection against cross-site request forgeries. This helps to safeguard data as it is submitted through forms on the website.
