Cookie Policy | Corthane

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to help site owners understand how their pages are being used.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other information on your device. Different cookies serve different purposes — some are strictly necessary for the site to work at all, while others are optional and only placed with your consent.

Straightforward terms

Think of a cookie as a short note the website leaves in your browser — one that it can read next time you visit, helping it remember who you are or what you prefer.

2. Cookie Types We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active — required for site functionality

Always On

These cookies are necessary for the website to operate. They manage session state, remember your cookie consent decision, and provide basic security functions. The website cannot function properly without them, so they cannot be disabled.

Examples: Session identifier, cookie consent record

Duration: Session or up to 12 months

Analytics Cookies

Optional — help us improve the website

Optional

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, how long people spend on a page, and where they navigate from. This information is aggregated and used to improve our content. We may use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Examples: Page views, visit duration, traffic source

Duration: Up to 14 months

Marketing Cookies

Optional — used for relevant advertising

Optional

Marketing cookies may be placed if you consent, allowing us to show relevant advertising on other platforms. They record site visits and help ad networks show contextually appropriate content. We do not build detailed personal profiles for advertising purposes.

Duration: Up to 12 months

Preference Cookies

Optional — remember your settings

Optional

Preference cookies store your choices so the website can tailor its presentation to you — for example, remembering your language preference or previously selected options on returning visits.

Examples: Language setting, region preference

Duration: Up to 6 months
