Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 4, 2025 | Effective date: June 4, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how FissionCore Ltd (“FissionCore,” “we,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on fissioncore.com (the “Site”).
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information to website owners. “Similar technologies” includes localStorage — a browser storage mechanism that works like a cookie but is never sent to the server.
Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary — consent preference
We store your cookie-consent choice in your browser’s localStorage so we can honour it on subsequent visits. This is not a cookie sent to a server; it stays entirely on your device.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | localStorage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies | Until you clear browser storage |
You cannot opt out of this entry — it is required to store your preference.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) — consent required
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site. These cookies are loaded only after you accept via the cookie-consent banner. If you decline, these cookies are never set.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated identifier | 2 years | Google LLC |
| _gid | Distinguishes unique users (shorter-lived companion) | 24 hours | Google LLC |
| _gat_gtag_* | Throttles the request rate to Google’s servers | 1 minute | Google LLC |
Data collected by Google Analytics includes page views, events, approximate location (city / region), device and browser information, and the referring URL. This data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
Third-party embed cookies — YouTube
Some pages on the Site include embedded YouTube videos hosted by Google LLC. If you interact with (play) a video, YouTube may set cookies on your device. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed mode where possible, which limits data collection until you click play.
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, others | Track video-player preferences and interaction for YouTube’s analytics | Google LLC (YouTube) |
For full details, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
What We Do Not Use
- Marketing or advertising cookies
- Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Session-recording tools (Hotjar, FullStory, etc.)
- Any persistent authentication cookies (no user accounts)
