Cookies Policy
Last updated: 13 September 2025
This Cookies Policy explains how cipdassessments.com (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember your preferences, improve performance, and understand usage. You can control non-essential cookies as described below.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them). We also use similar technologies like localStorage for certain preferences (e.g., currency).
How we use cookies
- Essential — required for core functionality and security (e.g., session, rate limiting, form flow, CSRF protections).
- Preferences — remember choices such as your currency presentment.
- Analytics — help us understand traffic and improve the website (aggregated insights).
- Marketing — measure campaign performance (only if enabled).
Examples of cookies we set
| Category | Name | Purpose | Typical expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | session | Maintains your authenticated session and essential navigation state. | Session |
| Preferences | currency | Stores your chosen currency for price presentment. | Up to 6 months |
| Security | ratelimit | Helps prevent abuse and ensure reliable service. | Short-lived |
| Analytics | analytics_* (if enabled) | Aggregated usage metrics to improve performance and content. | Varies (see banner/settings if present) |
Names may vary by environment. If a consent banner is shown, you can review the active list in “Cookie Settings”.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser’s “Settings” or “Privacy” sections. If a cookie banner or “Cookie Settings” control is shown on our site, you can use it to enable or disable non-essential cookies at any time. Essential cookies cannot be disabled because they are needed to operate the site.
