Cookies

• Session — keeps you signed in while you work. Deleted when you sign out or when it expires.
• Security — a token that proves a form was submitted from our own page and not from somewhere else.
• Language — remembers whether you read in English, Dari or Pashto, so the site does not switch back on you.
• Measurement — a first-party count of how a page performed: how quickly it painted, whether it shifted while loading. No profile, no identifier that follows you to another site.

No advertising cookies. No third-party trackers. No pixels from a social network. No cross-site identifiers, and nothing sold or shared with a data broker.

Which is why this page is short, and why we do not greet you with a consent wall covering the content you came for.

Your browser can block or delete any of them. The language and measurement cookies can go without consequence.

Blocking the session and security cookies means you cannot sign in, because they are how being signed in is represented. Public pages — the directory, the profiles, the products — work perfectly well with every cookie blocked.

The site keeps a few small preferences in your browser rather than in a cookie: the language you chose, and a draft of a request you started and have not sent. They stay on your own device, never reach our servers except when you send the form, and clearing your browser data removes them.
