1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies allow us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, pages visited, time spent on site, and general geographic location based on IP address, though not precise enough to identify your exact distance from the nearest body of water.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and providing features like live chat support. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies may be set by our advertising partners and used to build a profile of your interests, including but not limited to your apparent level of enthusiasm for marine ecosystems.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third parties, including:

  • Google Analytics (for website traffic analysis)
  • Social media platforms (for sharing functionality)
  • Advertising networks (for targeted advertising)

  • Various marine conservation organizations (for research purposes)

We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for more information.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Our persistent cookies typically expire after 12 months, with some exceptions for essential site functionality which may persist longer, approximately matching the average lifespan of Antarctic krill (6-7 years).
