Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile device, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners for analytics and personalisation purposes.

Cookies can be classified as follows:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are erased when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across visits.
• First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you are visiting (codemetrics.dev). They can only be read by that website.
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. These are typically used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration.

• To ensure the proper functioning and security of our website

Types of Cookies We Use

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may use various third-party cookies and tracking technologies to analyse website usage, deliver targeted content, and improve our services. These third-party services have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. The Company is not responsible for the privacy practices or cookie policies of these third-party providers.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track page visits, email opens, and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
• Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed. Used for maintaining temporary session state.

References to "cookies" in this policy also include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
