Cookies we set on our website
The cookies we use are only to provide functionality or analytical services.
Analytical cookies for our commercial website
Our website uses Google Universal Analytics, a web analytics tool provided by Google, to collect information about how visitors use our site.

The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited.

_gid
This cookie is used to store Session ID and to group the entire session’s activity together for each user. These Session IDs help Google Analytics group the entire user journey for each session. Session IDs change after each session thereby causing the value in cookie to change also. It is set to expire after 24 hours.

Functional cookies for our commercial website
These cookies relate to the functionality of our website and allow us to improve the services we offer.
PHPSESSID
This cookie stores the Session ID. The session on the website is used to store information retrieved from the database and we simply store the ID in a cookie to keep the session active.
acceptCookies
This cookie is used to remember a user’s choice about cookies. Where users have previously indicated a preference, that user’s preference will be stored in this cookie.
Functional cookies for our application service website
.AspNet.ApplicationCookie
Any users that attempt to visit a private page are redirected to a login page if they don't carry a valid authentication cookie. The login page, after having verified provided credentials, emits the cookie, which then travels with any subsequent requests from that user through the same browser until it expires.
SessionState.IsManagerialView.Id
Ensure that the management view can time out independently of the session time out.
_RequestVerificationToken
It delivers protection by creating a dynamic lock to submitting your forms by generating a token for each form page a user downloads that has an AntiForgeryToken in it. This token is then set as an encrypted session cookie. When users submit this hidden form field our server compares it with the encrypted cookie to ensure forms posted are same forms generated by our application.
Site.PIN
It allows a device to access the pin entry page for the clock-in feature. This is saved once the user inputs the enabling pin code to unlock this feature.
