Cookie Policy

How iDEA 2.0 uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

Effective date: 1 February 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your experience.

Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags may also be used alongside cookies.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies: These are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as authentication (staying logged in to your dashboard), security, and navigation. These cannot be disabled.

Preference cookies: These remember your settings such as theme (light/dark mode) so you don't have to reset them on each visit.

Analytics cookies: We use anonymised analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are most visited and how users navigate. This helps us improve the site experience. No personally identifiable data is collected.

3. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies.

Embedded content (e.g., video links, maps) from third-party providers may set their own cookies, subject to their respective privacy policies.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of your dashboard and registration flow.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy or Security. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

5. Session & Authentication

When you log in to the iDEA 2.0 dashboard, an authentication token is stored in your browser's local storage to keep you signed in. This token is deleted when you log out.

Sessions automatically expire after a period of inactivity for security.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
