Cookies and site preferences

Essential

The publisher_form cookie protects submission with a signed, server-checked token. It is HttpOnly, restricted to the API, uses SameSite Strict and expires after 2 hours. In production it is sent over HTTPS only. This security cookie is used regardless of analytics preferences.

Administrator sign-in also uses an essential publisher_admin cookie (named __Secure-publisher_admin in production), restricted to /admin. It is HttpOnly, SameSite Strict and Secure in production. The default session lasts one hour, with an operator-configured maximum of eight hours; signing out revokes its server-side record. It is not used for analytics.

Optional analytics

If you choose Allow analytics, this site records page visits, application CTA clicks, form starts, successful submission responses and submission failures. Events contain the event name and timestamp; they do not contain your email, application answers or a persistent visitor identifier. No advertising trackers or third-party analytics scripts are installed.

Your choice is saved in this browser using local storage under publisher-privacy-v1 for up to 180 days. Essential only disables optional events immediately. Use Cookie settings to change your choice. If browser storage is unavailable, the preference lasts for the current page only.
