Cookie & Local Storage Policy

Last updated: 14 September 2026.

Non-essential technologies are off until you make a choice. Continuing to browse is not treated as consent.

Essential storage

We use essential browser storage for your privacy preference, security/session functions where required, and core website operation. The preference record stores the categories you chose, the policy version and the time you saved the choice.

Functional

Functional storage is optional and may be used for convenience features that are not strictly necessary. If no optional functional feature is enabled, choosing this category does not create unnecessary third-party tracking.

Analytics

Analytics technologies are optional. The current service can produce server-side operational counts without requiring an advertising cookie. If optional browser analytics are introduced, they must remain disabled until Analytics consent is given.

Advertising

Advertising is optional. When enabled by an administrator and allowed by you, providers such as Google AdSense or configured direct advertising may load. Third-party providers can use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. Advertising scripts are not loaded before Advertising consent.

A simple first-party text promotion may be shown without Advertising consent only when it uses no third-party script, external image or optional browser storage. Google AdSense, HTML/script widgets, third-party images and similar advertising resources remain consent-gated.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser exposes a supported Global Privacy Control signal, the website keeps optional advertising disabled even if an older local preference said otherwise.

Policy version changes

The administrator can change the cookie-policy version from the Site Settings panel. When the version changes, the website asks you to review your choices again.

Changing your choice

Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. You can reject all non-essential categories. Clearing browser site data can also reset the saved choice.

Server-side request logs

Security and service-operation logs received by the backend are not browser cookies. They may include an IP address, user agent, request reference and timestamps where needed for security, abuse prevention, request tracking and administration. See the Privacy Policy.
