Supplemental consent and technology notice
The source policy above is retained in full. Where applicable privacy or e-privacy law requires consent, continued browsing alone is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Consent is requested before non-essential technologies are stored or accessed, and choices can be changed through Cookie Settings in the footer.
The current website uses the necessary kritko_session session cookie for security, CSRF protection, and session handling. It uses a separate first-party HttpOnly kritko_consent_id cookie only to associate a preference with its consent record, and stores the current preference in browser local storage under kritko_cookie_consent. When you choose Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Save preferences, the site records that decision in an append-only consent database with the selected categories, policy version, page path, and a server timestamp. HMAC-hashed IP and user-agent values are included only when a deployment-specific security key is configured; raw IP addresses and raw user-agent strings are not stored in the consent record. Optional analytics and marketing technologies are not currently deployed. If this changes, the policy will be updated with the technology, provider, purpose, and choice mechanism.
