1. What are cookies and browser storage?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. This platform also uses localStorage, a similar browser mechanism, to keep you signed in. Wherever this page says "cookies", it means both cookies and localStorage items.

2. Cookies we use

2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)

These are required to run the platform. They cannot be switched off in our tools; you can block them in your browser settings, but parts of the site will not work.

• Authentication session (localStorage, key sb-*-auth-token) — keeps you signed in and lets you access your application. Cleared when you sign out.
• Consent choice (localStorage, key cookie-consent-v1) — remembers your response to the cookie banner so we do not ask again on every page.
• Session security — short-lived tokens issued by our authentication provider to protect your session.

2.2 Analytics and optional cookies

We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies on this platform. If that changes, we will update this page, ask for your consent through the cookie banner, and only load those cookies after you accept.

3. Changing your choice

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the site footer. You can also clear cookies and localStorage for this site through your browser settings, which will reset your choice and sign you out.

4. Browser controls

All major browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. See the ICO guidance on cookies for step-by-step instructions.
