Legal & site information

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can manage them. It applies to all visitors to the Ophrysen website, and it sits alongside our privacy policy and terms of service as part of the information we publish about how this site operates.

Cookies matter here because parts of the site depend on them. Keeping a form session open, remembering that you have already seen a notice, and understanding which pages people actually read all rely on small files stored by your browser. This page sets out what we use, why, and what changes if you decide to block them.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, such as language or form state, and help site owners understand how pages are used.

A cookie does not run programs on your computer and does not carry viruses. It is a label your browser stores and sends back to the same site on later visits. Related technologies such as local storage work in a similar way, and this policy covers them where the site relies on them for the same purposes.

Cookies are usually described by how long they last. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser window. Persistent cookies stay for a set period so the site recognises you on your next visit. Both kinds can be checked and deleted at any time from your browser settings.

Most visitors never notice cookies working. They matter most when a form has to remember what you already typed.

Cookies we use

We keep the list short on purpose. Two groups are in use: the cookies the site cannot work without, and analytics cookies that tell us which pages are read. There are no advertising cookies on this website, and no cookie here is used to build a profile of you as an individual.

Strictly necessary

Analytics

These keep the site functioning correctly. They maintain your session while you move between pages, remember the state of a form you have started, and protect submissions from being replayed or duplicated. They also record your cookie choices so the notice does not appear on every page load.

  • Session state while browsing Session
  • Form progress and submission safety Session
  • Stored cookie preference 12 months
  • Site security checks Session

These help us see which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site, so we can tell what is useful and where people get stuck. Analytics data is used in aggregate: we look at totals and patterns, not at what one named person did.

  • Visit and page-view counting 13 months
  • Referral and traffic source 13 months
  • Aggregate page performance 13 months

If you refuse analytics cookies, the necessary cookies above still run, because the site does not work without them. If you block the necessary set, some pages and the contact form may stop behaving as expected.

Why we use them

Necessary cookies keep the site working and protect form submissions. Without them, a page cannot tell whether the visitor who loaded it is the same person who is now sending a message, which makes forms unreliable and open to duplicate or automated entries.

Analytics cookies help us see which content is useful and where visitors encounter problems, so we can improve the pages. If a guide on comparing accounting software is opened often but abandoned early, that tells us the page needs clearer structure rather than more words.

What we do not do

  • We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individual visitors.
  • We do not sell cookie data or share it for third-party ad targeting.
  • We do not link analytics records to your name, email or company details.
  • We do not keep form content in cookies after a submission is complete.

Managing cookies

You can accept, refuse, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies from specific sites or from all sites, and they let you clear what is already stored. Because browser menus change between versions, the most reliable route is your browser's own help pages, where the current steps for cookie and site-data settings are listed.

  1. Step 1

    Open your browser settings

    Look for the privacy, security or site-data section. This is where cookie controls live in every mainstream browser.

  2. Step 2

    Review stored cookies

    Most browsers list what each site has stored, with a description and an expiry. You can remove entries one at a time or clear everything for this site.

  3. Step 3

    Choose what to block

    Blocking analytics only changes what we can measure. Blocking necessary cookies affects the site itself, including whether the contact form can send a message.

  4. Step 4

    Revisit after updates

    Browser updates occasionally reset cookie preferences. If a notice reappears or a form behaves oddly, check these settings first.

If you disable necessary cookies, some parts of the site, including the contact form, may not work as intended. In that case the safest route is to reach us by phone or email instead, using the details on our contact page. Clearing cookies does not delete anything you have already sent us; it only removes what your browser stores about this site.

Third-party cookies

Where we use third-party services, such as analytics providers, those providers may set their own cookies. Their use of data is governed by their own policies, which sit outside this website, and we do not control third-party cookies directly.

What this means in practice: if you want to stop a third-party cookie, you usually need to change the setting in the provider's own controls or block it in your browser, rather than asking us to switch it off. We limit which third-party services run on this site to those with a clear purpose, such as measuring page traffic.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is always available on this page, and the review date above tells you when it was last checked.

Updates usually follow a change in the tools we use, a change in how a page is built, or a clarification that makes an existing description more accurate. When a change affects what is stored on your device, the new description replaces the old one here rather than being added alongside it.
