Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how IDO Edge ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies allow us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
We also use localStorage, a browser storage technology that keeps data on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage entries are not automatically sent with web requests and do not have a built-in expiry date.
Types of Cookies We Use
Required Cookies
Required cookies enable you to navigate our websites and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of the websites. These cookies are essential to operate the website.
Managing Required Cookies: Required cookies are essential to operate the websites; there is no option to opt out of these cookies. Please refrain from using our site if you do not consent to these cookies.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow us to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username, language, or your region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
These cookies may also be used to improve how our website functions and to help us provide you with more relevant messages, including marketing communications. They collect information about how our website is used, including which pages are viewed most often.
Managing Functional Cookies: Use the consent banner when you first visit the site or the persistent Cookie settings control in the footer. You can also consult your browser settings. Opting out may affect some website functionality.
Statistics and analytics
With your consent, we use optional analytics, including Google Analytics and film analytics, to understand site usage. Marketing analytics are also optional and used only when you enable the relevant consent preference.
Managing statistics and analytics: Use the site consent banner as your primary control. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the persistent Cookie settings control in the footer. You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google's browser add-on.
Operational monitoring
First-party, same-origin real user monitoring (RUM) runs on every visit, independently of your cookie consent choices, to measure Core Web Vitals (CWV) for operational performance monitoring. It stores the visitor identifier rum_vid in your browser's localStorage, with no expiry. Clearing this identifier removes it from your browser, but it may be created again on your next visit. RUM is separate from optional statistics and marketing analytics and is not controlled by the consent banner.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies
We sometimes use cookies delivered by us or third parties to show you ads for our products that we think may interest you on any devices you may use and to track the performance of our advertisements.
We also contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on our website, from emails, and on third-party websites. Advertising networks follow your online activities over time and across different sites by collecting device and usage data through automated means.
Managing Targeting or Advertising Cookies: To learn more about targeted advertising and opt out of collection by certain third parties, visit the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Other Tracking Technologies
Web Beacons
We use web beacons on our websites and in our marketing emails. Web beacons are small graphic images that notify us when you click on a link in an email or visit one of our websites. Such tracking technologies are used to operate and improve our websites and email communications.
Log Files
We automatically collect certain information via log files, including your IP address, device and application identification numbers, browser type, Internet service provider, pages viewed, operating system, date/time stamps, and clickstream data. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the website, and gather demographic information.
Cookies and localStorage in use
The table identifies whether each item is a cookie or a localStorage entry. Cookie durations are set expiry periods. LocalStorage entries have no automatic expiry and remain until they are cleared or replaced.
| Name | Provider | Category | Storage type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Statistics | Cookie | 2 years |
| _ga_7LJWQ06C3Q | Google Analytics | Statistics | Cookie | 2 years |
| rum_vid | IDO Edge (first party) | Operational monitoring (always active) | localStorage | No expiry (may be recreated if cleared) |
| cookieConsent | IDO Edge (first party) | Necessary | localStorage | No expiry |
| cookiePreferences | IDO Edge (first party) | Necessary | localStorage | No expiry |
How to Control Cookies
The site consent banner is the primary way to accept or reject optional cookies and localStorage used for statistics and marketing. It does not control the operational RUM described above. You can change your choice at any time through the persistent Cookie settings control in the footer. You can also control storage at the browser level. Clearing the rum_vid identifier may result in a new one being created on a later visit. Disabling storage may limit some website features. Here are links to guidance for popular browsers:

Do Not Track Signals
Some internet browsers offer a "do not track" (DNT) option. Currently, there is no common industry standard for DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We take privacy seriously and will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies.
