Cookie Policy
This page lists the cookies and similar technologies used on benjima.com, what each one does and how to control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember things between page loads, such as whether you already dismissed a message or which theme you chose. Some cookies are set by us, others by services we embed, such as Google Maps.
Essential cookies
These keep the site working and cannot be switched off through the site. Blocking them in your browser will break the quote form.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | Benjima | Checks that your browser accepts cookies | Session |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Benjima | Keeps a logged in staff member signed in. Not set for visitors. | Session |
| wp-settings-* | Benjima | Remembers admin screen preferences for staff | 1 year |
Statistics cookies
These tell us how many people visit and which pages get read, so we know what to write more of. They do not identify you by name.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| tk_ai, tk_qs | Automattic (Jetpack) | Anonymous visitor and session identifiers for site statistics | Session to 2 years |
Embedded third party content
Some pages load content from other companies. When that content loads, your IP address and browser details are visible to them, and they may set their own cookies.
| Service | Where it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Contact page | Shows the factory location. Google may set cookies once you interact with the map. |
| Google Fonts | Every page | Loads the typefaces used on the site from Google servers. |
| Chat button and links | Opens a conversation in WhatsApp. Nothing is sent until you press send. |
Read Google’s privacy policy for what Google does with that data.
Local storage
The site remembers whether you chose the light or dark view. That preference is stored in your browser only, it is never sent to us and it contains nothing personal.
How to control cookies
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third party cookies
- Safari: Settings, Privacy, Manage website data
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions
You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which clears cookies when you close it.
Do Not Track
Browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. There is still no agreed standard for how sites should respond to it, so this site does not currently change its behaviour based on that signal.
Changes
If we add or remove a service that sets cookies, we update this page. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
