Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device during a session or across multiple visits and to store certain information about your preferences or activity.

Similar technologies include web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage objects, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

Why We Use Cookies

Morvanta uses cookies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to maintain session security, and optionally to understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve the user experience. We do not use cookies to display targeted advertising or to track users across third-party websites for advertising purposes.

Cookie Consent and Your Choices

When you first visit morvanta.org, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may choose to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your preference is stored using a cookie named mor_consent on your device.

You may change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent banner again. You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the site.

Browser-level cookie management instructions are available from your browser's help documentation. Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, each of which provides settings for managing cookies under their privacy or security menus.

Third-Party Cookies

Morvanta does not currently deploy third-party advertising or social media tracking cookies. If we integrate any third-party service that places cookies on your device in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and consent will be sought where required.

The Google Maps embed used on our Contact page may place cookies from Google's infrastructure. These are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which are separate from this document. You can review Google's cookie practices at google.com/policies/privacy.

Retention Period for Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period. Our consent preference cookie (mor_consent) is retained for 180 days, after which you will be prompted to review your preferences again. Other functional cookies have retention periods appropriate to their purpose, typically ranging from 30 to 365 days.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our cookie usage or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
