Cookie Policy

Effective Date: October 1, 2024. This policy describes the cookies and stored identifiers deployed on the xelvornbitca.org domain, their purposes, durations, consent requirements, and the mechanisms by which users may accept, decline, or modify their cookie preferences.

  1. Cookie Categories and Deployment Purposes

    We deploy only essential cookies on the xelvornbitca.org domain, categorized by function, duration, and consent requirements. Essential site operation cookies maintain navigation state, preserve form input values, and record cookie preference selections. No advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies are deployed on any page within our platform. Each cookie category serves a specific operational purpose that enables the platform to function reliably for all visitors.

  2. Stored Cookie Inventory

    Cookie Type Purpose Duration Consent Requirement
    session_token Maintains navigation state and modal focus Browser close Required
    form_preserve Retains input values during page transitions Browser close Required
    cookie_pref Records acceptance status for control banner 12 months Required

  3. Necessary Cookies and Platform Functionality

    Necessary cookies are essential for basic platform operations and cannot be disabled. The session_token cookie maintains navigation state and modal focus across page transitions, ensuring that your browsing context persists as you navigate between pages. The form_preserve cookie retains input values during multi-page form transitions, preventing data loss if a browser refresh occurs or a user navigates back to a previous form page. Without these necessary cookies, form submissions would fail and navigation state would reset on every page load.

  4. Preference Cookies and Control Banner

    The cookie_pref cookie records your acceptance or decline decision regarding the cookie preference control banner, storing your choice for 12 months. When you interact with the cookie banner by selecting Accept or Decline, this preference value is written to your browser storage. The banner reads this value on subsequent visits and suppresses display if a valid preference already exists. You may revoke stored preferences at any time through your browser settings, which will restore the control banner on your next visit to the platform.

  5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

    The cookie preference control banner appears on your initial visit to the platform, presenting Accept and Decline options. Selecting Accept permits all essential cookies to be deployed. Selecting Decline permits only strictly necessary cookies for platform operation and suppresses all preference and analytics cookies. You may modify your preferences at any time by clearing your browser storage through browser settings, which will restore the control banner on your next visit. Disabled cookies will not impair form validation, navigation state, or modal functionality, as all essential operations rely on server-side routing and standard HTTP session handling.
