Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how iFarrier ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website and services. This policy also explains your rights regarding cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions.
- Remember user permissions across sessions.
- Facilitate secure payment processing with third-party providers (e.g., PayPal).
- With your consent, measure site usage and advertising effectiveness using Google Analytics (GA4) and track conversions from Google Ads and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) advertising campaigns.
Cookie Security and Compliance
We implement enhanced cookie security measures to ensure compliance with modern browser requirements and protect user privacy:
- Secure transmission: All cookies are transmitted securely over HTTPS connections
- SameSite attributes: Appropriate SameSite settings prevent cross-site request forgery attacks
- Partitioned attribute: Third-party cookies include the Partitioned attribute to comply with modern browser cookie policies
- Automatic auditing: Our system continuously monitors and audits cookie usage for security and compliance
- Proactive remediation: Existing cookies that lack proper security attributes are automatically updated when detected
Browser Cookie Warnings Resolution
Our system specifically addresses browser warnings about cookies lacking the 'Partitioned' attribute. Any cookies that may trigger such warnings (including system cookies like 'm' and third-party cookies from payment providers) are automatically detected and updated with appropriate security attributes to ensure compliance and prevent browser warnings.

Language preferences and user profile data are stored in browser localStorage, not as cookies, and are therefore not subject to PECR. Your cookie consent choice and an anonymous visitor identifier (used to remember your choice before you register or log in, and reconciled to your account once you do) are also stored in localStorage, not as cookies.
