Cookies policy

Cookies on knowa.co. Minimal and straightforward.

This page explains every cookie the knowa.co marketing site sets, why it is set, and how long it lives. We use strictly-necessary cookies only. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party tracking.

Last updated: 24 April 2026

01What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information between visits, such as whether you are signed in, which region of a site you prefer, or which cookies you have accepted.

Similar technologies (local storage, session storage, and IndexedDB) behave like cookies for privacy purposes. Where this policy says "cookies" it covers those technologies too.

02How we use cookies

The knowa.co marketing site uses cookies for one purpose only: to remember your region preference (UK or US) after you use the region toggle in the navigation. That preference lets us show you the right regional homepage next time you visit, without re-detecting your country from your IP address.

We do not use cookies on knowa.co for:

  • analytics, performance measurement, or session replay;
  • advertising, retargeting, or audience building;
  • profiling or behavioural tracking;
  • social-media embeds or third-party widgets.

All cookies we set on the marketing site are classed as strictly necessary under the UK PECR guidance and UK GDPR. They do not require prior consent.

03The cookies we set

Complete list as of the date at the top of this page:

NamePurposeTypeLifetime
knowa-region Remembers whether you chose UK or US when you used the region toggle in the navigation. If set, it overrides our automatic country detection. Attributes: Path=/, SameSite=Lax, Secure. Strictly necessary (first-party) 12 months, or until you clear it
knowa-region-dismiss Set only if you dismiss the small banner that suggests switching region (e.g. a US visitor on the UK home). Stops the banner reappearing on every page load. Attributes: Path=/, SameSite=Lax, Secure. Strictly necessary (first-party) 30 days, or until you clear it
admin_session Set only on the staff-only admin URL (/admin) after a Knowa employee signs in with a password. Keeps them signed in while they edit site configuration. Cannot be read by JavaScript (HttpOnly). A public visitor will never receive this cookie. Attributes: Path=/, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure. Strictly necessary (first-party, staff-only) 8 hours, or until sign-out

These are the only cookies the marketing site sets. We do not set any other first-party cookies, and we do not load any third-party scripts that would set cookies on our behalf.

04Third-party cookies

The marketing site sets no third-party cookies. We do not embed advertising networks, tag managers, social-media widgets, live-chat providers, heatmap tools, or analytics scripts.

The marketing site also loads no third-party resources that would expose your IP address to an external party. Fonts, stylesheets, scripts, and images are all served from knowa.co itself. There are no embedded widgets, iframes, or tracking pixels from third-party domains.

05Cookies in the Knowa product

This policy covers the marketing site at knowa.co only. The Knowa product (the signed-in application typically served from app.knowa.co or a customer-specific subdomain) uses additional strictly-necessary cookies for authentication, session management, CSRF protection, and preferences. Those cookies are covered by the in-product cookie notice and are documented in the customer Data Processing Addendum (DPA).

If you are evaluating Knowa for your organisation and need the full in-product cookie list for your own cookies or privacy notice, email privacy@knowa.co and we will send it.

06Managing cookies in your browser

You can view, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Each browser has its own path. The links below jump to the manufacturer's current instructions:

Blocking the knowa-region cookie will not stop the site working. It means your region will be re-detected from your IP address on every visit instead of remembered.
