Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-24

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They let the site remember state between requests, for example that you are signed in. Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy.

2. Categories we use

Strictly necessary. Session and authentication cookies. Without them, sign-in does not work and the service cannot function.
Security. Cookies set by our security layer that detect automated traffic, block malicious requests, and enforce rate limits. These cookies carry no personal identifiers of yours.
Optional analytics. If enabled, aggregate counters of page views and errors. No advertising, no cross-site tracking, no profiling.

3. Cookie categories and duration

Category	Purpose	Typical duration	Required
Authentication	Keeps you signed in between requests	Session, then up to 30 days with refresh	Yes
Security challenge	Confirms your browser is not automated	Up to 1 year	Yes
Bot management	Distinguishes humans from automated traffic	30 minutes	Yes
Aggregate analytics	Counts page views and errors without identifying you	Up to 12 months	No

Cookie names may change when the service is updated. Your browser's developer tools list the cookies that are active in your session at any time.

4. What we do not use

No advertising cookies.
No cross-site tracking cookies.
No social-media tracking pixels.
No third-party profiling cookies.
No fingerprinting for advertising or resale.

5. Third-party cookies

When you complete a payment, the payment processor may set cookies on its own domain. Each provider governs its own cookies under its own policy. We do not control those cookies and recommend reading the processor's cookie notice before paying.

6. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies from your browser settings at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and prevent the service from working. Blocking security cookies may trigger verification challenges on every request. Instructions for the major browsers are available in each browser's help documentation.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Probapedia does not respond to browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals with additional behaviour. The service sets no advertising cookies, so there is nothing to opt out of beyond the strictly necessary set. You can always block the optional analytics cookie without affecting the service.

8. Children

Probapedia is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly set cookies on the devices of children.

9. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy. When we do, we update the date at the top of this page. Material changes are announced in the application at least 14 days before they take effect.
