Last Updated: 22 March 2025 · Effective Date: 22 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Tessera website, and how you can manage your preferences. For questions, contact us at [email protected].
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have visited before — which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Cookies do not give access to your device or any personal information beyond what you choose to share with us.
2. Cookies We Use
We use four categories of cookies on the Tessera website:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function. These handle session management and security and cannot be disabled.
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where traffic originates. This data is used in aggregate form only.
- Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant information about our services to visitors who have shown interest. These may be set by third-party advertising platforms.
- Preference Cookies: Remember choices you have made on the site, such as your cookie consent decision, to avoid presenting the same prompt on every visit.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use to understand site usage and improve our content. These may include:
- Google Analytics: Collects anonymised usage data to help us understand site traffic patterns.
- Advertising networks: May set cookies when we run promotional activity, subject to your consent.
We do not control the cookies set by third parties. You can review their policies directly on their respective websites.
4. Cookie Duration
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period — typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on purpose — unless you delete them manually or through your browser settings.
