What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies, such as localStorage entries, can serve related purposes — for example remembering whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies on Cognitiveclouds.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies and storage to keep the site functional and to remember your cookie choice. Analytics cookies help us understand which guidance pages are useful; they load only after you press Accept on the banner. Rejecting analytics does not block access to programs, articles, or the contact form.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| cognitiveclouds_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject choice for the cookie banner | Until cleared (localStorage) | Cognitiveclouds |
| cc_session | Maintains basic load-balancing and security continuity | Session | Cognitiveclouds / hosting |
| _cc_analytics | Measures aggregated page views if analytics accepted | 6 months | Cognitiveclouds analytics |
Managing or disabling cookies
Use the banner choices on your first visit. To change a stored choice, clear site data for cognitiveclouds.digital in your browser settings, then reload the page to see the banner again. You can also block cookies globally in browser preferences.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts or images loaded from third-party CDNs may set their own technical cookies according to those providers’ policies. We minimize such embeds where practical.
Impact of disabling
Disabling essential storage may cause the cookie banner to reappear frequently. Disabling analytics only reduces our ability to see aggregate traffic patterns; educational content remains available.
