01. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. At Andes Development, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the basic operation of our platform, improve the user experience, and analyze traffic on our website.
02. How Cookies Are Classified in Our System
Our digital ecosystem currently implements a small, strictly justified number of cookies. They fall into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary (Technical) Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. Our system is built on the Laravel framework, which requires session cookies to maintain your browsing state and CSRF tokens to protect forms against request-forgery attacks. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled in our systems.
- Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use Google Analytics to measure how users interact with the site's content. These cookies collect anonymized data on metrics such as visitor counts, bounce rate, traffic source, and reading time for our case studies. This telemetry helps us optimize our web infrastructure and deliver more relevant content.
Privacy by Design: The analytics cookies we implement operate under anonymization processes (such as IP masking). We do not cross-reference this information with external databases to attempt to identify individual users.
03. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right and the technical ability to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your web browser preferences to block or delete cookies at any time.
Depending on the browser you use, you can find configuration instructions at the following official links:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Microsoft Edge
System Notice: Please be aware that if you choose to block the "Strictly Necessary Cookies" (such as Laravel session cookies), certain parts of our website may stop working properly, or form submissions may fail due to security measures.
04. Updates and Contact
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technical, or legal changes. We recommend reviewing this page regularly to stay informed about our use of tracking technologies.
