This Cookie Policy explains how Koseti Digital Studio ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website koseti.com (the "Site").
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and process your personal data.
We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) in our use of cookies.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser
Cookies can also be categorised as "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different website, such as an analytics or advertising service).
