This Cookie Policy explains how Ignis Genesis ("Ignis Genesis," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and any subdomains (collectively, the "Site"). We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" above reflects the latest version.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help the Site function, enhance security, analyze usage, remember preferences, and support communications. We also use similar technologies (e.g., pixels, web beacons, local storage, SDKs), which we refer to collectively as "cookies."
You can control cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact Site functionality.
2. What we use cookies for
We use first-party cookies (set by Ignis Genesis) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers) for the purposes below. Where personal data is involved, our Privacy Policy applies.
- Strictly Necessary — Required for core Site functions (security, page navigation, session management, load balancing). These cannot be switched off.
- Performance & Analytics — Help us understand Site usage (pages visited, session length, navigation paths) so we can improve reliability and user experience.
- Functional — Remember choices (such as language or region) to provide enhanced features.
- Security & Fraud Prevention — Detect abuse, prevent fraud, and protect the Site.
We do not use cookies for advertising or third-party retargeting.
3. Legal bases (EEA/UK)
For visitors in the EEA/UK, we rely on:
- Consent for non-essential cookies (analytics, functional).
- Legitimate interests (or necessary for a contract) for strictly necessary cookies.
You can withdraw or modify consent at any time via your browser settings.
4. Do Not Sell/Share (US Privacy) & GPC
Ignis Genesis does not sell personal information. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where detected.
5. Managing your cookies
- Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies (instructions vary by browser).
- You can opt out of Google Analytics via the browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Disabling cookies may impair some Site features.
6. Retention
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain for a defined period (typically up to 24 months, or per provider policy) unless deleted earlier by you.
7. Third-party cookies we may use (examples)
The exact cookies depend on the features you use and may change over time. Examples include:
| Provider / Cookie | Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignis Genesis (session) | Strictly Necessary | Session management, authentication | Session |
| Cloudflare (__cf_bm, cf_clearance) | Strictly Necessary / Security | Bot management, DDoS protection | 30 min – 1 year |
| Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Performance & Analytics | Usage metrics, performance insights | 13 months |
| reCAPTCHA | Security | Abuse prevention on forms | Per provider policy |
Listing a provider here does not mean every visitor receives every cookie. Deployment depends on your choices and the pages or features you access.
8. Similar technologies
We may use web beacons/pixels and local storage to recognize devices, measure engagement, and support features. These are governed by this Policy.
9. International transfers
Cookie-derived data may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
10. Children
Our Site is intended for users 18+ and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly place cookies to profile children.
