How long do cookies remain stored on my device after visiting chinneelectric.com?

Cookie retention periods on chinneelectric.com vary by category and purpose, strictly following the “storage limitation” principle of GDPR Article 5(1)(e). Session cookies, used exclusively for strictly necessary functions like maintaining authentication states during a single browsing session, are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, which encompass functional and performance categories, have defined maximum lifespans ranging from 24 hours for certain load-balancing cookies to 12 months for language preference cookies, after which they expire and are removed from your device. Targeting cookies set by verified third-party partners operate under their own retention policies, typically spanning 90 days to 6 months, as documented in our publicly accessible cookie inventory. All expiration timestamps are expressed in UTC and are programmatically enforced via the `Expires` and `Max-Age` attributes in the Set-Cookie HTTP headers, ensuring automated deletion without reliance on manual user action.
