Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and require your consent.
Websites can also use similar technologies that store data in your browser without using a cookie — most commonly local storage. This policy covers those too, and lists them alongside the cookies we use.
2. Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or submitting a form.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| .AspNetCore.Identity.Application | Keeps you logged in between page requests. | Session / 14 days (if "Remember me" selected) |
| .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. | Session |
Necessary Similar Technologies
These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They protect our sign-in and registration forms from automated abuse. They are not cookies, and they are not used to track you across websites or to build an advertising profile.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _cftscs_<site key> | Local storage entry set by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that sign-in, registration and password-reset submissions come from a real visitor rather than an automated script. It holds the state of that check between attempts. | Until cleared from your browser |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. They are only set if you accept analytics cookies.
| Provider | Purpose | More Information |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (via GTM) | Tracks page views and user interactions to help us improve the site. | Google Privacy Policy |
Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver personalized advertising. They are only set if you accept advertising cookies.
| Provider | Purpose | More Information |
|---|---|---|
| No advertising cookies at this time. |
3. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie icon in the bottom-right corner of any page. You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may affect some features of the site — in particular, you will be unable to stay logged in if necessary cookies are blocked.
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. For significant changes we will notify registered users by email or by posting a notice on the site.
