Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on a user's device by a website during a visit. They are widely used to enable websites to function correctly and to provide information to the site operators about how users interact with the site. Cookies are stored locally on the user's browser and can be read by the site that issued them on subsequent visits.
Cookies can be categorized by their duration (session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period) and by their origin (first-party cookies, set by the site being visited, or third-party cookies, set by external services).

Plarex uses only essential first-party cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the Site. These cookies do not track users across websites, are not used for advertising or profiling purposes, and do not transmit data to third parties.
Plarex does not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels

Cookie Categories Explained
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are those without which the basic functionality of the website cannot be maintained.

Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices made by the user, such as language or display preferences, to provide a more consistent experience. The session cookie used by Plarex (PHPSESSID) is standard server-side infrastructure and does not store any user-specific content beyond the technical session identifier, which is discarded when the browser is closed.
