Introduction
At EQOL, we value your privacy and strive to ensure your personal data is protected. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website powered by VerseOne DXP, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small identification tokens placed on a user's web browser that provide a web application with some basic information about the current visitor's browsing session. These cookies can be used for various purposes, including ensuring the functionality of the website, enhancing user experience, and tracking user behaviour.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website, provide essential functionality, analyse our site's performance, and deliver personalised content. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are essential for activities such as maintaining user sessions, securing forms, and managing load balancing across servers.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are most frequently visited and any error messages encountered. This information helps us improve the site’s performance.

EQOL CMS Cookies
By default, EQOL CMS uses only a few essential cookies:
- JSESSIONID: This essential cookie is necessary for software functionality, including session management for authentication, form submission validation, and load-balancer configuration. It expires at the end of a session or after 20 minutes of inactivity.
- TS0xxxxxxx: Another essential cookie used for maintaining context across multiple servers and ensuring secure web application firewall operations. It also expires at session end or after 20 minutes of inactivity.
- VOPECRA: A long-term, non-tracking cookie that remembers whether the user has accepted or declined cookies. This cookie lasts for multiple years.
- KMLI: This cookie remembers the user so they do not have to explicitly log in again. Its duration is configurable, with a default of 2 weeks.
