Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar local-storage technologies that WAGate uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Cookie (strictly necessary) | Keeps you signed in and protects forms (session & CSRF). HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure over HTTPS. | Until you close the browser / log out |
| ag_lang | Cookie + local storage (preference) | Remembers your chosen interface language; also used to localize transactional emails. | Persistent |
| ag_lang_explicit | Local storage (preference) | Records that you deliberately picked a language, so automatic geo selection won't override it. | Persistent |
| ag_geo | Local storage (functional) | Caches an approximate country/region (from your IP) to pick a default language and to gate Hebrew to Israel. | ~12 hours |
2. Third-party requests
We load web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). These requests do not set advertising cookies but do expose your IP address to Google as part of serving the font files. Our language/region detection calls our own first-party service (geo.activated.digital).
3. Strictly necessary vs optional
The session cookie is strictly necessary — the Service cannot function securely without it, so it is not subject to consent. The preference and functional items above improve your experience; if you block them, the site still works but may not remember your language or region.
4. Managing cookies & storage
You can delete or block cookies and clear local storage in your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out and reset your language/region preferences. Most browsers also let you refuse cookies from specific sites.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as the Service evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
