Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
What Are Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data locally on your device. This policy applies to the Damascus27 marketing website only. Browser storage used by the Damascus27 laboratory application is described in the notice presented within that application.
What We Use
Damascus27 uses only strictly necessary browser storage:
| Name | Category | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Strictly necessary | Remembers that you have seen and accepted the cookie notice | Local storage (first party) | Until you clear your browser data |
| Bot-protection storage | Strictly necessary | Verifies that contact form submissions come from a person | Cookies or local storage (set by our bot-protection provider, contact form only) | Session or short-lived |
We do not use analytics cookies, performance cookies, advertising cookies, social media pixels or any other non-essential tracking technologies on this website.
Legal Basis
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and POPIA, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you request, or to keep it secure, does not require your prior consent. We disclose it here for transparency. Any personal information processed through this storage is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent before setting them.
Third-Party Storage
The only third party that may set cookies or use local storage on this website is our bot-protection provider, and only on the contact form. It processes this data to verify that submissions come from a person. You may ask us for the provider's identity using the contact details below.
Managing Cookies and Local Storage
You can control and manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings:
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Clear local storage via your browser's settings or developer tools
- Use browser extensions that block tracking technologies
Because we only use essential storage for consent and security purposes, blocking it may affect how the website works (for example, the consent banner may reappear on every visit, or the contact form may not be able to verify your submission).
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
