Transparent cookie use, within a wider trust framework.
This page explains how boardevaluator.com may use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function, support security, remember preferences, understand website performance, and improve the visitor experience. It sits inside the broader BoardEvaluator™ by Celagenix® trust framework and should be read alongside Privacy, Terms, POPIA, and Security.
Cookies, explained without the boilerplate.
BoardEvaluator™ is not a generic consumer site. Even the website trust layer should reflect a governance-oriented, privacy-aware posture. This page explains cookie use in a way that supports transparency without overcomplicating the visitor experience.
Site operation
Some cookies help the website load reliably, keep sessions stable, and support form submissions or other core user actions.
Preference memory
Preference cookies can help remember settings or interface choices so repeat visits are smoother and more consistent.
Performance insight
Analytics-related technologies can help understand page usefulness, content performance, and where the site experience may be improved.
Security support
Some mechanisms may support fraud prevention, session integrity, traffic protection, and more reliable operation of public-facing forms and pages.
The main categories a visitor should understand.
Not every cookie serves the same purpose. Separating categories helps users understand what is necessary for operation, what supports improvement, and what may depend on settings or consent approaches.
| Category | Purpose | Typical use on the site | Examples of impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Support core website delivery and required technical functions. | Session continuity, form handling, traffic stability, or core security checks. | Without them, parts of the site or forms may not work as expected. |
| Preference cookies | Remember useful choices to improve repeat visits. | Language, display, consent, or interface preferences where implemented. | The site feels more consistent when returning. |
| Analytics cookies | Help measure how the site is used and where content can improve. | Page performance, traffic trends, content usefulness, or visitor journey analysis. | Supports better content, UX, and conversion optimisation over time. |
| Security-related cookies | Help protect the site, forms, and sessions from abuse. | Abuse detection, anti-automation checks, or session integrity support. | Can reduce misuse and strengthen reliability of public-facing interactions. |
Cookies sit inside a wider trust picture, not on their own.
Visitors reviewing cookies often need the wider legal and trust architecture as well. This is especially true when the buyer is in governance, legal, procurement, or risk review mode.
