1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when a site is visited. These files allow the site to recognise the device and store information about preferences or previous actions, which improves browsing.
Cookies are part of how the modern web works. They allow sites to remember preferences, keep a session and provide relevant content. Without them, browsing would be less personalised and less efficient.
2. Types of cookies
There are two main groups of cookies, classified by how long they last:
2.1. Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are stored in the browser on the device used to access the site (computer, mobile or tablet) and are used on each new visit. They are generally used to direct browsing towards the user's interests, so that the service can be more personalised.
2.2. Session cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the browser's cookie file until the user leaves the website. The information obtained from these cookies is used to analyse web traffic patterns, identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.
3. Cookies we use
The site uses one essential cookie. It does not use tracking, advertising or marketing cookies.
The cookie currently in use is:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Records the choice on the cookie notice: accepted or rejected. It does not store the content of a contact message. | 1 year |
4. Purpose of cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the site to work, and allow browsing and access to secure areas.
- Functionality cookies remember the user's preferences so that the experience can be personalised.
- Analytics cookies are not currently used. If they are introduced, they will collect information about how visitors use the site, so that it can work better.
5. Third-party cookies
The DwCubix website does not currently use third-party cookies. If, in the future, we integrate services such as traffic analysis tools (for example, Google Analytics) or content from external platforms (for example, YouTube videos), those services may use their own cookies. This policy will then be updated, and we will ask for consent where it is required.
6. Managing cookies
Cookie preferences can be managed in several ways:
6.1. Through our cookie banner
On the first visit, a notice offers Accept and Reject. Either choice is stored in cookie_consent for one year, and the notice stays closed while that cookie remains. Deleting the cookie in the browser brings the notice back.
6.2. Through the browser settings
The browser can be set to block or delete cookies. Instructions for the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking or deleting all cookies may make some features of the site unavailable and may affect browsing.
7. Consent
For cookies that are not strictly necessary, we ask for consent before they are set. Consent can be withdrawn at any time through the browser settings or by email to [email protected].
8. Changes to this policy
DwCubix may change this Cookie Policy at any time. Any change is published on this page, which should be reviewed regularly. Where appropriate, we will tell users about significant changes.
