The D-LIS Light site uses cookies - small text files that your browser saves on your device. This document explains what we use them for and how you can manage them.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small file with a name, a value and an expiry date. The site reads it on your next visit, which lets it recognise the browser and remember your choices. Cookies do not run programs and do not carry viruses.
2. Types of cookies used on the site
- essential - without them the site will not work: they keep sessions, protect forms against abuse (the CSRF token) and save your decision about consents,
- functional - they remember your settings, e.g. dark mode or a notice you closed,
- analytics - they count visits and show which pages are read; they only come in after you have given consent,
- marketing - they serve to match adverts; they only come in after you have given consent.
3. List of files and services
| Name | What it is for | Category | Retention period |
|---|---|---|---|
| sessionid | The session of an account signed in to the panel. | essential | until the session ends |
| csrftoken | Protects forms against a forged request. | essential | up to a year |
| dlis_consent | The remembered decision about consents. | essential | as set in the panel |
4. Consent and withdrawing it
Cookies other than the essential ones only start after you have given consent in the banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" link in the footer or the consent icon in the corner of the screen. Withdrawing consent does not affect what happened before it.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Every browser lets you delete saved files and block new ones - you will find this in its privacy settings. Blocking essential files may stop parts of the site from working (signing in or sending a form, for example).
6. Personal data and cookies
The information cookies collect may be personal data. Who controls it, what for and for how long is described in the Privacy policy.
