Cookie policy

Which cookies the site needs, and which run only with your consent. Last updated 29 September 2026.

Draft, pending legal review

This policy is a draft. It becomes final after review by a Bangladesh lawyer.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file a site keeps in your browser. Browser “session storage” does a similar job and is wiped when you close the tab. This page lists both.

We use three groups: Necessary (always on), Analytics and Marketing. The last two run only if you turn them on with “Accept all” or “Choose”. Until you do, not even their files are loaded.

The cookies and storage we use

Cookies and browser storage on PMESC's site

pmesc_consentNecessaryRemembers your cookie choice (holds no id)6 months
pmesc_portal_sidNecessaryKeeps you signed in to the portalEnds after 7 idle days, 30 days at most

pmesc_a_visit (session storage)AnalyticsA random visit number, so pages in one visit count togetherUntil you close the tab or after 30 idle minutes
pm-viewed-… (session storage)NecessaryCounts an article once per visit (no personal data)Until you close the tab
_ga, _ga_*Analytics (if on)Google Analytics (GA4) — visits and page views; never set without your consentUp to 2 years
_clck, _clsk, CLID, MUIDAnalytics (if on)Microsoft Clarity — how the site is used (heatmaps, session recordings); never set without your consentUp to 1 year

Marketing: nothing yet. If we add a tool, it goes on this list first and only runs with your consent.

Our own analytics

We count, in our own system: which pages are viewed, where visitors come from (for example Google or Facebook, and any UTM tags in the link), phone or computer, and how far people get in the quote form.

It stores no name, email, IP address or full browser details, and sets no cookie. The data stays on our server and isn't shared with anyone.

When you turn Analytics on, we also use Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to understand site usage in more depth. Both set their own cookies and send data to Google and Microsoft (details in the Privacy policy). Neither loads before you consent, and turning Analytics off in "Cookie settings" stops both immediately.

Clearing cookies in your browser

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block necessary cookies, portal sign-in won't work.
