Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you are browsing the internet. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several essential purposes, including:

  • Authentication: To identify you and keep you logged in. When you sign in to CognitoA, we use cookies to remember your session, so you don't have to re-enter your credentials on every page.
  • Preferences: To remember your settings and preferences, such as your preferred language or display settings.
  • Security: To help protect your account and our service from fraudulent activity.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser. We use them to manage your current session on our site.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your login status and preferences.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are placed by services that appear on our pages. Specifically, we use Firebase (a Google service) for user authentication. Firebase may set its own cookies to manage authentication sessions.
