Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 28 July 2025
This policy explains how Orbistra uses cookies on orbistra.cyou, what each category of cookie does, and how you can manage your preferences. We will not place non-essential cookies without your consent.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information between pages or sessions. They do not execute code and cannot carry viruses. Cookies serve different purposes — some are necessary for the site to work, others help us understand how it is used.
2. Cookie categories we use
Essential cookies Always active
Required for basic site function — storing your cookie consent choice, maintaining a session if you use a logged-in area, and basic security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies Optional
Help us understand how pages are used — which pages are visited most, where users arrive from, and where they leave. Data is aggregated. We use Google Analytics where enabled.
Marketing cookies Optional
Used to measure the effectiveness of any paid advertising and to personalise ads where platforms such as Google or Meta are used. Only active if you consent.
Preference cookies Optional
Remember settings you have chosen, such as language or display preferences, so you do not need to re-enter them on subsequent visits.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — usage statistics (analytics category).
- Google Ads / Meta Pixel — advertising effectiveness measurement (marketing category). Only active where you have consented and where we run paid campaigns.
- Font and CDN providers — Google Fonts and cdnjs load resources. These may log request data under their own privacy policies.
4. Cookie duration
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain until their expiry date or until you delete them. Our consent cookie persists for 12 months. Analytics cookies typically expire after 14 months.
5. Your cookie preferences
