Types of Cookies We Use

🔒 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
`sessionid`	Maintains your session when logged in	Session
`csrftoken`	Security - prevents cross-site request forgery	1 year
`cookie_consent`	Remembers your cookie preferences	1 year

📊 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. All data is anonymized.

What is suppressed when you decline analytics cookies (P-23). Our landing pages record a server-side visitor session for every visit. When you decline analytics cookies, that row only keeps the strictly-necessary slice that we rely on for security and aggregate traffic measurement — a hashed IP address, the UTM attribution parameters, a coarse device-type bucket (desktop / mobile / tablet / unknown), the referring domain, country-level geo, and our bot-detection signals. The following analytics-only fields are not written to the database until you accept analytics cookies: browser family and version, operating-system family and version, screen size, language, timezone, returning-visitor flag, hour-of-day and day-of-week, page-view counter, scroll depth, engagement time, interaction count and mouse-movement count. Each landing-page visitor session is hard-deleted by our daily retention job 60 days after the visit date regardless of consent.
