Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 February 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the site owners.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be "first-party" cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" cookies (set by a different domain).
2. Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled. Without them, the Platform would not work properly.

| next-auth.session-token | Maintains your authenticated session so you stay logged in as you navigate the platform | Session | GDPR4All |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks | Session | GDPR4All |
| next-auth.callback-url | Stores the redirect URL during the authentication flow | Session | GDPR4All |

Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They are only set if you have given your consent.

Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function properly.
Currently, functional preferences (such as language and onboarding tour status) are stored server-side in your user profile rather than in cookies. This category is reserved for future use.
