Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 12, 2026
This page lists every cookie this website uses. The list is short because the site is built that way: no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, no third-party trackers.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
csrftoken | Protects forms (contact, newsletter) against cross-site request forgery. Strictly functional security. | First-party, essential | ~1 year |
sessionid | Keeps NovelPACS staff logged in to the content administration area. Never set for ordinary visitors. | First-party, essential | 2 weeks |
Local storage
Your light/dark theme preference is kept in your browser's local storage on your device. It never leaves your browser and identifies nothing about you.
Why there is no cookie banner
Consent banners exist for cookies that track people. Both cookies above are strictly necessary for the site to function — the category that privacy regulation (including the ePrivacy rules behind the famous banners) does not require consent for. If we ever add non-essential cookies, a consent mechanism will arrive in the same release, and this page will say so.
Managing cookies
Every browser lets you view, block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking the two above will prevent form submission and staff login respectively, but reading the site works fine without them.
