Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage for preferences and consent status. Together we call them “cookies” in this policy.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, protect forms against CSRF attacks, remember language and theme choices, and store your cookie consent decision. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising networks.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the portal to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take (signing in, submitting forms, setting language).

Examples: session / authentication cookie; CSRF protection cookie; flash messages after form actions; cookie-consent record (so we know not to ask again).

4. Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices such as interface language and light/dark theme. If you refuse preference cookies, the site still works, but you may need to reselect language or theme each visit.

5. Analytics and marketing

We do not currently load third-party advertising or marketing cookies. If we enable optional analytics in the future, we will only activate them after you consent via the cookie banner, and we will update this policy.

6. Managing cookies

On your first visit (and when consent expires or is reset), a cookie banner lets you Accept all, Essential only, or open Preferences.

You can change your mind later by clearing site data for this domain or by using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. You can also block cookies in your browser; blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in.

7. Duration

Session cookies typically expire when you close the browser or after a configured idle period. Language and consent preferences may last up to 12 months unless you clear them earlier.

8. Contact
