1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences — like language, login state, and display settings — over time.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and web beacons. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies collectively.

2. Why We Use Them

Devised IT uses cookies for four main reasons:

  • Essential functionality — so the website works correctly and securely.
  • Performance & analytics — to understand how visitors use the site and improve it.
  • Preferences — to remember choices you've made (like theme or language).
  • Marketing — to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and, where permitted, personalise content.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core features like security, session management and accessibility.

  • XSRF-TOKEN — CSRF protection (session)
  • devisedit_session — Laravel session cookie (session)
  • cookie_consent — stores your cookie preference (12 months)

3.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These help us count visits, see traffic sources and understand how visitors navigate the site. All data is aggregated and anonymised.

  • _ga — Google Analytics user identifier (2 years)
  • _gid — Google Analytics session identifier (24 hours)
  • _gat — Google Analytics throttling (1 minute)

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience.

  • theme — dark / light mode preference (12 months)
  • lang — language selection (12 months)

3.4 Marketing Cookies

These are set by third-party advertising networks to deliver relevant ads. Currently we only use these if you explicitly opt in.

  • _fbp — Meta Pixel for campaign tracking (3 months)
  • li_sugr — LinkedIn Insight Tag (3 months)

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are placed by third parties we work with. These include:

  • Google Analytics — traffic analysis
  • Cloudflare — security and performance
  • Stripe — payment processing (on checkout pages)
  • YouTube / Vimeo — embedded video players

We do not control how these third parties use their cookies. Please refer to their own privacy policies for details.

5. Managing Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

5.1 Our Consent Banner

When you first visit our site, a banner appears allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or customise preferences. You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

5.2 Browser Settings

All major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Here's how:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy & security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Note: blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.

5.3 Opt-Out Tools

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can always manage cookies through the methods described above.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when we add new features or services. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the cookie consent banner.
