What this policy covers
A cookie is a small text file stored by a website in a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software tags that store information on a device or access information already stored there.
This policy describes the technology that is actually active on www.orto.live at the date shown above. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.
What the website currently uses
The website uses one first-party session cookie, orto_form_session, when a visitor opens the contact form or Free Time-Saving Review form. It is strictly necessary to prepare and validate the secure form submission.
The current website does not create or read a consent-preference value in local storage because no optional storage technologies are active.
Cookie details
- Name: orto_form_session
- Provider: ORTO through the www.orto.live website, hosted by IONOS
- Category: strictly necessary, first-party session cookie
- Purpose: links the browser session to a randomly generated anti-forgery token so that ORTO can reject forged form submissions. The cookie itself does not contain the visitor's form answers.
- When set: when a contact or review form requests its security token, and when that form is submitted
- Duration: the browser session; it has no persistent expiry date
- Scope and protections: available across the ORTO website, inaccessible to browser scripts through the HttpOnly setting, restricted with SameSite=Lax and marked Secure when the site is accessed over HTTPS
Analytics, advertising and tracking
The public website does not currently load analytics, advertising, behavioural-tracking or CRM-tracking scripts. It does not set analytics or marketing cookies.
ORTO will update this policy and introduce any consent controls required by law before activating a non-essential storage or tracking technology.
External resources and server records
Pages request the Inter and Manrope typefaces from Google Fonts. This is an external stylesheet and font-file request, not an analytics service configured by ORTO. The browser sends technical request information to Google so the font can be delivered; Google's handling of that request is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
IONOS also creates ordinary hosting and security logs when it serves the website. Server logs are not cookies or browser storage. Further information about hosting records and personal information is in the Privacy Policy.
Why no cookie banner is displayed
The form-session cookie is used only for security that is essential to provide a form requested by the visitor. It falls within the strictly necessary exception under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, so consent is not requested before it is set. ORTO still provides this policy so visitors can understand its purpose and duration.
Browser controls
You can block or delete cookies using browser settings. Blocking the strictly necessary session cookie may prevent the contact and review forms from preparing their security token or submitting successfully. You can still contact ORTO by email or telephone.
Changes and contact
ORTO will review this policy when the website or its service providers change. The date at the top identifies the current version.
