What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit, like whether you have already accepted the cookie notice or what language you prefer.
Cookies cannot run programmes or carry viruses. They are just small pieces of text. Most browsers accept them by default, but you can change your browser settings to manage or block them (see the browser instructions section below).
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
Always active
These cookies are required for the website to work. They manage your cookie consent record and basic session behaviour. You cannot disable them as the site would not function without them.
Examples: cookieConsent (localStorage), session state
Analytics cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long people spend reading, and where they come from. We use this to improve the site over time. No personal information is shared externally.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — session and up to 2 years
Marketing cookies
Optional
These cookies are used to show relevant information about our Services to people who have visited this site when they are browsing elsewhere. They may also measure the effectiveness of any promotional activity we run.
Examples: Facebook Pixel (_fbp), Bing UET — up to 180 days
Preference cookies
Optional
These remember your settings and preferences so you don't have to re-enter them on future visits — such as display preferences or region settings.
Examples: UI preferences — session to 1 year
Your cookie preferences
Use the toggles above to set which optional cookies you accept, then save your choice below. Your preference is stored on your device using localStorage and will be applied when you return to the site.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we may use, rather than by Eldernest directly. These include:

Each third party has its own privacy and cookie practices. We encourage you to read their policies for full details.
Cookie duration
Cookies fall into two types based on how long they last:
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for temporary settings.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years). These are used for analytics, preferences, and marketing.
