What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and behaviour across pages and visits. We also use localStorage (browser-side storage) for similar purposes. This policy explains all such technologies used on indastraonline.com.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies (always active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

Cookie name	Provider	Purpose	Expiry
`PHPSESSID`	indastraonline.com	PHP session identifier — maintains form security (CSRF), language state and rate-limiting counters.	Session (deleted when browser closes)
`ind_lang`	indastraonline.com	Remembers your preferred display language.	12 months

2. Functional Cookies / localStorage

These technologies remember your choices to improve your experience.

Key	Storage	Purpose	Expiry
`ind_cookie_consent`	localStorage	Stores your cookie consent choice ("all" or "necessary") so the banner is not shown on every visit.	Persistent (until cleared by user)

3. Analytics Cookies (consent required)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve content and performance. These cookies are only set after you click "Accept All" in the cookie banner.

Cookie name	Provider	Purpose	Expiry
`_ga`	Google LLC	Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier.	2 years
`_ga_*`	Google LLC	Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state.	2 years

Google Analytics anonymises IP addresses before processing. Data is transferred to Google LLC (USA) under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. For Google's privacy practices, see policies.google.com/privacy.

How to Manage Cookies

Cookie banner

When you first visit INDASTRA, a cookie consent banner appears. Click "Accept All" to enable all cookies, or "Necessary Only" to allow only essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the ind_cookie_consent key from your browser's localStorage and reloading the page.

Browser settings

You can also manage cookies directly in your browser:

Note: disabling essential cookies (e.g. PHPSESSID) may prevent the contact form and other functionality from working correctly.

Google Analytics opt-out

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-Party Cookies

At present, the only third-party cookie provider on INDASTRA is Google (Analytics). We do not embed social media plugins that set cookies without consent, and we do not serve advertising networks.

If you follow links to external sites (e.g. manufacturer websites), those sites have their own cookie and privacy policies that we do not control.
