1. Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function. They are set automatically and cannot be switched off, because without them forms cannot be submitted safely.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
clinapharm_session |
Keeps your browsing session consistent from one page to the next. | 2 hours |
XSRF-TOKEN |
Protects our forms against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours |
clinapharm_consent |
Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner, so we stop asking. | 6 months |
Google reCAPTCHA
Our contact and job application forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which distinguishes
real visitors from automated scripts. It processes your IP address and interaction signals, and
may set cookies in the google.com domain.
We treat this as strictly necessary: without it our forms would be flooded with automated submissions. To limit its reach, reCAPTCHA is loaded only on the pages that actually contain a form — the home page, Applications and Opportunities. It does not run anywhere else on this site. Its use is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
2. External content — your choice
These are not needed to browse the site, so nothing loads until you agree.
| Service | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Displays the location of our Cotonou office on the contact section. |
If you decline, the map is replaced by a button. Nothing is sent to Google until you press it, and the rest of the site works exactly as before. Our address is written out in full next to the map, so you lose nothing but the interactive view.
3. Changing your mind
Your choice is stored for six months. You can change it at any time using the Cookie settings link, which also sits in the footer of every page. You can also delete cookies directly from your browser settings, in which case the banner will appear again on your next visit.
4. Other third-party requests
The typefaces used across this site are served from our own server, so displaying a page does not disclose your IP address to a font provider.
One request does still leave our server: jsDelivr, a content delivery network that serves a single interface library used to display confirmation messages. It sets no cookies, but receives your IP address as a technical consequence of delivering the file.
