What is a cookie

A cookie is a text file placed on your device when visiting a site. It lets the site recognize your device on return visits.

Cookies used on this site

Strictly necessary cookies

Required for the site to function. No consent required.

Analytics cookies

The site uses a first-party analytics system (no third-party tracker). With your consent, two technical identifiers are stored locally to recognise your session and your returning visits:

  • fractal_session_v1 in sessionStorage, cleared when you close the tab.
  • fractal_anon_v1 in localStorage, kept until you clear your browser storage.

The data sent to our server includes pages viewed, time on page, scroll depth and CTA clicks. It is stored in our internal database and never shared with a third party.

Without your consent, only data you actively submit through a form (e.g. the scope-builder or contact form) is collected. No analytics identifier is created on the wire.

Third-party cookies

None. The site does not embed third-party trackers, advertising pixels or social network widgets that set cookies.

Managing cookies

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time via Open cookie preferences.
