Introduction
This policy explains how UniScore uses cookies when you visit our website. It covers what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide usage information to site owners.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by another service, such as an analytics provider). They can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored for a set period).
How we use cookies
We use cookies for two purposes:
- Essential functionality — keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, and making the site work correctly.
- Analytics — understanding how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
uniscore_sid |
Maintains your login session and security token | 31 days |
us_theme |
Remembers your light or dark mode preference | 1 year |
us_consent |
Stores your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. All information is aggregated and anonymous. They are only set if you give consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Maintains session state between pages (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
_gid |
Distinguishes users for reporting (Google Analytics) | 24 hours |
We use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2, which means analytics data is only collected after you give explicit consent. See Google's privacy policy.
Managing your preferences
When you first visit the site, a consent banner lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is saved and the banner won't appear again unless you clear your cookies or update your preferences.
You can change your choice at any time:
- Click "Manage Cookies" in the website footer
- Or use the button below
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
