Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Elimys uses, why we use them, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (stay until they expire or you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts.
2) How Elimys uses cookies
We use cookies to (a) run core site functions like login and security, (b) remember preferences, and (c) — if you opt in — measure usage to improve the Service.
3) Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary – required for the site to function (authentication, security, anti-forgery). These cannot be switched off on our side.
- Preferences – remember choices like UI settings. Optional; you can disable them.
- Analytics – help us understand how the site is used (e.g., Microsoft Clarity). Optional and only set after your consent.
4) Cookies we may set
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Typical expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Session | Elimys | Strictly necessary | Maintains session state across requests. | Session |
| Elimys.Auth | Elimys | Strictly necessary | Authentication cookie (if logged in). | Up to 14 days (if “Remember me”) |

Note: exact names/expiries may change as providers update their services.
5) Consent & managing cookies
We will not set non-essential cookies (Preferences or Analytics) unless you opt in. You can change your choices at any time:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, some features will not work.
6) Do Not Track
Many browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. While there is no common industry standard, we treat DNT as a signal to keep only strictly necessary cookies unless you explicitly opt-in to others.
7) Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Policy. We will post the new version with a new “Last updated” date and, for material changes, provide additional notice.
