Cookies and Local Storage Policy

What technologies are used?

The site uses cookies and local storage for sessions, form protection, consent-choice evidence, and recovery of drafts you start. A theme choice is not retained after the page closes unless you allow interface preferences.

Categories

Each item is classified by its actual purpose and is prevented from operating outside the category you accepted.

• Necessary, for sessions, form protection, choice evidence, and recovery of a draft you requested.
• Preferences, for retaining the theme choice after optional consent.
• Analytics, an optional category with no external tool currently active on the public site.
• No marketing-storage category is currently active on the public site.

Storage register

The consent screen lists name, provider, purpose, category, duration, and whether an item sends data to another party. A new tool is not enabled before registration and assessment.

Consent

Rejecting optional categories does not block core features. We record the choice text, policy version, and time, and request a new choice for a material new purpose or provider where required.

Duration

Session items expire at session end or sign-out. Persistent item duration is stated in the register and does not exceed purpose needs. Unused items are reviewed and removed.

Manage your choice

Change your choice at any time in Preferences. Withdrawal stops future use and does not invalidate prior lawful processing. Clearing necessary browser storage may sign you out or prompt for a new choice.

Browser controls and Do Not Track

You may block storage in your browser, but some protected features will not work. Where a supported privacy signal is sent, we honor it according to technical capability and legal requirements and document this in the register.

Changes and audit

Every change to category, duration, or provider is versioned, approved, and audited. A content manager cannot reclassify an optional item as necessary without privacy review.
