Cookie Policy
This policy describes the cookies and similar technologies we use on the Tensora website, the purpose of each, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last updated: 1 June 2025
When you visit the Tensora website at tensorad.club, we may place small data files called cookies on your device. This page explains what they are, why we use them, and how you can make choices about them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal information more broadly.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit — for example, to keep you logged in or to understand which pages are most useful. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting directly (first-party cookies); others are set by third parties whose services are embedded on the page.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and tracking scripts. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these unless otherwise stated.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for four broad purposes:
- Essential: to keep the site working correctly — these are always active
- Analytics: to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it — set only with your consent
- Marketing: to measure the effectiveness of any advertising campaigns we run — set only with your consent
- Preferences: to remember choices you make, such as language or display settings — set only with your consent
When you first visit our site, a cookie notice gives you the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the instructions in Section 8.
3. Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be turned off without breaking the site. They do not store personally identifiable information beyond what is technically required.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your cookie preference choice so the consent banner is not shown on every page visit | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Session identifier used by the server to manage form submissions and page state during a visit | Session |
4. Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, where they come from, and where they leave. This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you individually.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number. Used to calculate visit, session and campaign data for site analytics reports | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics (GA4) | Persists session state for a specific Google Analytics property | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users. Stores and updates a unique value for each page visited | 24 hours |
5. Marketing cookies
With your consent, we may use cookies from advertising platforms to measure whether campaigns we run result in visits or enquiries. These cookies help us understand which channels are effective so we can allocate our advertising spend appropriately. We do not use them to build persistent profiles or serve personalised advertising on third-party websites without your knowledge.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Used by Meta to deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertising on their platform when visiting sites that use their tools | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Microsoft (Bing) | Used to track visitors that have converted from Bing Ads in order to report on campaign performance | Session |
| _uetvid | Microsoft (Bing) | Stores a unique visitor identifier used to measure advertising campaigns across sessions | 13 months |
6. Preference cookies
With your consent, preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you make — for example, your preferred language or any display settings — so you do not need to reconfigure them on each visit.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| lang_pref | Stores your language preference if you select a display language other than the default | 12 months |
7. Third-party cookies
Some content on our website is provided by third parties. These providers may set their own cookies when their content is loaded. The third-party services that may set cookies on our site include:
- Google Fonts — used to load typography. Google may log requests for font files; see Google's Privacy Policy
- Google Maps — used to display our location on an embedded map. When the map is loaded, Google may collect usage data; see Google's Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare CDN — used to serve static assets (fonts and icons). Cloudflare may log technical request data; see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy
We have no direct control over the cookies set by these third parties. We encourage you to review their policies directly.
8. Managing your preferences
You have several ways to control cookies:
Cookie consent tool
When you first visit our site, a notice gives you the choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our domain, which will cause the consent notice to reappear on your next visit.
Browser settings
All major browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. The steps vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please be aware that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including ours. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking site features.
Opt-out tools
For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For interest-based advertising more broadly, the Your Online Choices tool lists participating advertising networks and allows opt-out.
9. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. At this time there is no accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our site does not currently alter its data collection practices based on DNT settings. We will review this position as any standard develops.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically, particularly if you have concerns about the cookies we set.
