Cookie Policy
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things between pages and between visits. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels do much the same job, and everything in this policy applies to them too.
How we use them
EQ uses a small number of cookies. Some are necessary for the site to work at all. Others help us understand how the site is being used, and those only run if you agree.
We do not use advertising cookies and we do not allow third parties to track you across other websites for advertising purposes.
The categories
Strictly necessary. These make the website function: keeping your session active as you move through the participation flow, protecting forms against cross-site request forgery, balancing server load, and remembering your cookie preferences. They cannot be switched off, and they do not require your consent because the site does not work without them.
Analytics. These tell us how many people visit, which pages they use, and where participation drops off. We use this to improve the flow, not to identify you. [DELETE THIS PARAGRAPH IF ANALYTICS ARE NOT IN USE.]
Functional. These remember preferences such as your language or region. [DELETE IF NOT APPLICABLE.]
Marketing. We do not use these.
The specific cookies
Our website is hosted on [HOSTING PROVIDER], which sets the following necessary cookies:
XSRF-TOKEN protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Lasts for the session.
svSession identifies unique visitors and their session. Lasts two years.
smSession identifies logged-in site members. Lasts for the session.
hs is used for security. Lasts for the session.
SSR-caching records how the page was rendered. Lasts one minute.
TS cookies are used for security and load balancing. Last for the session.
[CONSENT COOKIE NAME] remembers your cookie choices. Lasts [DURATION].
[IF ANALYTICS ARE ENABLED, ADD THEM HERE. FOR GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 THESE ARE TYPICALLY _ga AND _ga_CONTAINERID, BOTH LASTING TWO YEARS.]
This list is accurate at the date above. Providers change cookie names occasionally, and we review this page at each equinox.
Your choices
When you first visit, you are asked which categories you accept. You can change your mind at any time using [LINK TO COOKIE SETTINGS].
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser allows this. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the participation flow will stop working, and you may not be able to make a Commitment.
