NC Squared Limited Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

Our website and our Distribution Engine and Booking Engine applications use cookies and local storage.

Insofar as cookies and local storage are not strictly necessary for the provision of our website and services or otherwise exempted, we will ask you to consent to their use when you first visit our website or use the relevant application.

This cookies policy should be read alongside our privacy policy at:

2. About Cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies may not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Local storage is a browser-based key–value store that lets a web application save data on a user’s device so it persists across page loads and browser sessions. Like a cookie, it can hold information about a user's preferences or previous actions (for example, remembering consent choices or UI settings) and then be read on later visits to adapt the page. The main difference is that, unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically sent with every HTTP request; instead, JavaScript reads and writes it on the client side, so developers can use it as a "cookie‑like" mechanism for storing identifiers or state while avoiding extra traffic on each request.
