Cookie Policy | Orinthia

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to help websites function correctly and to give site owners a better understanding of how their pages are used. Cookies do not run programmes or carry viruses; they are simply data files stored by your browser.

Some cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a set period and are reactivated each time you visit the site that created them (persistent cookies).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Always active

These cookies are necessary for the website to load and function. Without them, services such as page navigation, form submissions, and security functions cannot operate. They cannot be disabled.

Examples: Session identifiers, cookie consent preference storage. Duration: Session / up to 12 months for preference storage.

Analytics Cookies Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most, where visitors arrive from, and how long they stay. All data is aggregated and anonymised; no individual is identified.

Examples: Page view counts, session duration, traffic source. Duration: Up to 26 months.

Preference Cookies Optional

These cookies remember choices you have made on the site — such as your cookie consent selections — so you do not have to repeat them on subsequent visits.

Examples: Interface language, display preferences. Duration: Up to 12 months.

Marketing Cookies Optional

These cookies may be used to show relevant content about Orinthia's programmes to people who have visited our site, through channels such as search advertising. They do not share personal identifying information with third parties.

Examples: Advertising platform retargeting pixels. Duration: Up to 90 days.
