Cookie Policy

The short version

ISTCKonnect uses cookies for one reason: to keep you logged in. We don't use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics cookies. No cookie banners needed — because we're not doing anything that requires one.

What's a cookie?

A cookie is a small file your browser saves when you visit a website. It lets the site remember something about you between pages — in our case, that you're logged in.

The cookies we use

Cookie	Purpose	Expires
istck_session	Keeps you logged in. Without this, you'd have to sign in on every page.	7 days
PHPSESSID	Standard PHP session identifier. Manages your active session on the server.	Browser session

That's the complete list.

What we don't use

• Google Analytics or any analytics tracking
• Facebook Pixel or any advertising network cookies
• Hotjar, Mixpanel, or any behaviour tracking tools
• Third-party cookies of any kind

Google services

When you use Google login or the location autocomplete during registration, Google's own cookies may be set by your browser as part of their services. We don't control those — they're governed by Google's privacy policy.

Controlling cookies

You can delete cookies or block them in your browser settings at any time. If you delete the session cookie, you'll be logged out and will need to sign in again with your OTP. That's the only practical effect.
