What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve related purposes. They can be essential to how a site works, or optional, such as those used for measurement or advertising.
Cookies this site uses
Essential cookies
Reading pages on this website sets no cookies. A single session cookie is set only when it is needed:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__Host-aff | Protects forms against forged submissions and, for AFFERENT staff, keeps an administrator signed in. Set when you open a page that contains a form. | Until you close your browser |
This cookie is necessary for the forms to work safely. It contains a random identifier and no personal information, and it does not track you across sites. Essential cookies do not require consent.
Preference storage
If analytics is enabled on this site, your choice to accept or decline is saved in your browser's local storage under the name aff-consent so that we do not ask again on every page. A second local entry, aff-seen, lasts for a single browsing session and records only that the opening animation has already been shown.
Analytics cookies
AFFERENT may use an analytics service to understand how the website is used in aggregate. Analytics cookies are optional. They are not loaded unless analytics has been enabled for this site and you have accepted them. If you decline, no analytics code is loaded at all.
[If Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager is enabled: list the provider, the cookies it sets and their durations here before publication.]
Marketing cookies
This website does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested first.
Your choices
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Blocking the essential session cookie will prevent the contact and careers forms from being submitted.
Changes
We will update this policy if the cookies used on this site change. The date at the foot of this page shows the latest revision.
