1.Scope
This policy explains the cookies and similar client-side storage technologies used by the website and the authenticated application, including browser cookies, local storage, session storage and equivalent mechanisms.
2.Categories used
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication and session continuity, security and abuse prevention, tenancy routing, load balancing, and preserving state during a request | Not required |
| Functional preferences | Remembering interface preferences such as navigation state, selected views, theme and language | Not required where limited to preferences you set |
| Performance and diagnostics | Aggregated performance measurement and error diagnosis to keep the service reliable | Consent where non-essential |
| Analytics | Understanding aggregate product usage where such measurement is enabled | Consent |
| Advertising | Not used | Not applicable |
3.Local and session storage
The authenticated application stores session and preference information in browser storage so that a signed-in session can be maintained and the interface can be restored between visits. This storage is functionally necessary to operate the application and is cleared when you sign out or clear site data.
4.Consent and control
Where non-essential technologies are used, consent is requested before they are set and can be changed or withdrawn at any time. Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled without preventing the service from working.
You can also block or delete cookies and storage through your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out and reset preferences.
5.Third-party technologies
Infrastructure and security providers may set strictly necessary technologies to deliver, protect and route the service. Categories of providers are listed in the Subprocessors document. We do not permit third-party advertising or cross-site tracking technologies.
6.Retention
Session technologies expire when the session ends. Persistent technologies are retained only as long as needed for their stated purpose, and preference storage persists until you clear it or it is superseded.
