Our Use of Cookies

The Intergage website cookie

The Detecnicks website uses a “session cookie” to identify your browser “session” as you move between pages on the website and perform activities. The cookie is named detecnicks_heaj2jnjyu1 and will last for 3 months.

The website cookie allows our website to recognise each subsequent request from your browser as being the same browser that made the initial request to our website.

By knowing that each subsequent request is related to the first, our website is able to track your actions as you move around the website and to provide interactive features. By analysing how our website is being used in general, we can improve the website experience for future visitors. Should you experience any problems in using our website, our website developers may be able to use this information to track down your specific “user journey” and investigate and fix any issues that might arise.

The cookie itself is a very small text file that is stored on your device (for example, your PC or your phone) by your web browser. It contains a simple text code that your browser sends back to our website each time you browse to a new page. This allows the website to look up your specific session and associate data for that session with your browser. The data itself is not stored in your cookie but on the server(s) operating the website.

Each page on our website is generated by a sophisticated Content Management System (CMS). This system provides a number of interactive features where your experience may be tailored according to your past activity on the website. Such features require the “session cookie” to operate.

The session cookie provides the ability for you to log on to our website using your unique user name (or e-mail address) and password.

Each page on our website may be tailored to you uniquely, based on your past activity on the website, for example to show your name.

The session cookie provides the means to remember your log on state and hence your discussion forum preferences, such as your nickname and the date of your last post.

The session cookie provides the means for you to take part in votes (or polls) on the website.

The session cookie provides the means to remember that you have submitted a form so that you are not asked to re-submit it.

The session cookie provides the means to remember which files you have requested to be sent to you by email and the date and time at which such requests were made.

The session cookie provides the means to remember whether you have ‘like’d our Facebook page.

As we improve our website over time, similar and more advanced features may be added that also require a “session cookie” to operate.
