Cookie Policy
How we use local storage and cookies on our website
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site.
Our Use of Local Storage
We use browser local storage for essential functions such as remembering that you have seen this notice and certain preferences. Local storage data stays in your browser; only what you submit through the site is sent to our servers as part of normal operation.
Essential uses may fall under the "strictly necessary" exemption under GDPR and ePrivacy; analytics uses your consent via our banner and Google Consent Mode.
What We Store Locally
We store the following information in your browser's local storage:
| Item | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication Token | To keep you logged in to your account | Until logout or expiry |
| Accessibility Settings | To remember your accessibility preferences (high contrast, large text, etc.) | Persistent |
| Cookie Notice Status | To remember that you've acknowledged our cookie notice | Persistent |
Third-Party Services
We use Firebase (Google) for authentication and data storage where applicable. Firebase may set technical cookies or use storage for those features.
We use Google Analytics 4 (Google) on the public site to measure traffic and usage. We implement Google Consent Mode: optional analytics cookies and related processing are disabled until you choose I Understand on our cookie notice. You can change your mind by clearing site data in your browser (the notice will appear again).
Your Choices
You can clear your browser's local storage at any time through your browser settings. However, please note that doing so will:
- Log you out of your account
- Reset your accessibility preferences
- Cause the cookie notice to appear again
Analytics and marketing
We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregated statistics (for example page views and navigation), subject to consent as described above. We do not use social media tracking pixels or third-party marketing cookies on these public pages beyond what is stated here.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
