What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help pages function, remember preferences, or understand aggregate traffic. More detail on how we handle personal data sits in our Privacy notice.

How we use cookies

Portalspring uses essential cookies required to run the site (including remembering your cookie choice) and, only if you accept, analytics cookies to understand which pages are visited.

Rejecting optional cookies does not block browsing, forms, or reading our journal.

Name	Purpose	Duration	Provider
`portalspring_cookie_consent`	Stores Accept or Reject choice for the banner	1 year	Portalspring (first-party)
`ps_session_route`	Essential routing/load balance token on some hosts	Session	Hosting provider
`_ps_analytics`	Optional page-view counts (set only after Accept)	6 months	Portalspring (first-party)

Exact hosting cookies may vary slightly by infrastructure; they remain limited to security and delivery.

Managing cookies

Use the banner’s Accept or Reject buttons on first visit. Clearing site data in your browser removes stored choices and will show the banner again. You can also block cookies in browser settings; essential features such as the consent memory may then reset each visit.

Third-party cookies

Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts; that request can expose your IP to Google under their terms. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. If a future embed requires additional cookies, we will update this table and the banner behaviour.

Impact of disabling

Rejecting analytics cookies simply means we will not set _ps_analytics. The site, inquiry form, and content remain available. Blocking all cookies may reset your consent preference and, on some hosts, affect session stability.
