Cookie Preferences

1. Purpose

This is the functional interface where users choose and change non-essential cookie/technology categories. It must not be replaced by a static PDF; the controls must remain operational in the Platform.

2. Choices

• Always on: strictly necessary security, session, consent and essential-functionality technologies.
• Preferences: optional where a distinct choice is appropriate.
• Analytics: off by default until consent.
• Marketing: off by default until consent.
• Controls: “Accept all”, “Reject non-essential”, “Save my choices”, and a permanent option to change the choice later.

3. Duration and evidence

The system may store a consent identifier, policy version, date, language and selected categories. Remembering the preference should normally not exceed six months before renewal unless a specific lawful justification applies.

4. Withdrawal

Consent can be withdrawn at any time using the permanent Cookie Preferences footer link. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing based on consent.
