What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and provide a smoother experience overall. VoteEasy uses cookies to make the platform work securely and efficiently.
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They manage your login session, keep votes secure, and prevent fraud. You cannot disable these cookies as the site will not work without them.
- Session authentication — keeps you signed in while you use the platform
- CSRF protection — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks
- Payment security — required during checkout and vote processing
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your choices to give you a more personalised experience. For example, they remember your language preference or which theme (light/dark) you selected.
- Theme preference (light or dark mode)
- Language and region settings
- Dismissal of banners and notices
Analytics Cookies

- Google Analytics — page views and session data
- Performance monitoring — identify slow pages
- Error tracking — detect and fix issues faster
Advertising Cookies
