Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, how Parqua uses them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences.

Section 01

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as whether you have accepted a cookie notice — so you do not have to repeat that action on your next visit.

Cookies do not contain your personal information directly, but they can be combined with other data to identify you. Some cookies are essential for a website to work properly, while others are optional and can be declined without affecting basic functionality.

Section 02

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always active — cannot be disabled

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as recording your cookie consent preference. They do not store personally identifiable information.

Examples: Cookie consent storage (localStorage), session security tokens

ALWAYS ON

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around the website. The information collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you individually. We use this data to improve the structure and content of our website.

Examples: Google Analytics (page views, session duration, traffic sources)

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies may be set through our website by advertising partners. They can be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Examples: Advertising network tracking pixels

Preference Cookies

Optional

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made (such as your region or language setting) and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples: Language preference, display settings

Section 03

Third-Party Cookies

When analytics or marketing cookies are enabled, third-party services may set their own cookies on your device. These include:

  • Google Analytics — website performance and visitor behaviour analysis
  • Google Ads / Tag Manager — advertising performance measurement (if marketing cookies enabled)
  • Meta Pixel — if applicable, for advertising audience building (if marketing cookies enabled)

Each of these services operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing those policies if you have questions about how they handle your data.

Section 04

Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for temporary functions such as maintaining state within a single visit.
  • Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them. Our cookie consent preference is stored as a persistent item (localStorage) with no automatic expiry; you can clear it via your browser or through the controls below.

Analytics cookies typically persist for 13–26 months depending on the specific service settings. Marketing cookies typically persist for 30–90 days.

Section 05
