1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
2. How We Use Cookies
This website uses only strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are not placed when you visit the site as a regular visitor — they are only set when you actively choose to sign in with GitHub to post on the Community Wall. If you never sign in, no cookies are placed on your device.
We do not use any tracking, advertising, analytics, or third-party profiling cookies.
3. Cookies Used
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Keeps you signed in via GitHub OAuth when using the Community Wall | 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks during sign-in | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Remembers where to redirect you after completing GitHub sign-in | Session |
4. Legal Basis — No Consent Banner Required
Under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and its interpretation by EU supervisory authorities, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the functionality you requested (signing in). As all cookies on this site fall into this category, no cookie consent banner is displayed.
The legal basis for processing associated with these cookies is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract/service), as described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Deleting authentication cookies will sign you out of the Community Wall, but will not affect your ability to browse the portfolio.
