Cookies & website choices

Essential storage

The authentication cookie (__Host-VasKem-Auth) maintains signed-in access; its ticket lasts up to seven days with sliding renewal. Anti-forgery cookies (.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.*) protect form requests. The vk_cookie_choice preference remembers your analytics choice for up to 180 days. These are not advertising permissions.

Your browser can remove or block cookies, but doing so may sign you out or prevent forms working. Persistent sign-in depends on your sign-in choice; do not select it on a shared device.

Optional analytics

Only an affirmative Allow analytics choice permits the first-party vk_sid identifier, valid for up to 30 days, and public-page visit records. These records contain a page path, referrer host, a random identifier and a shortened browser description. This release does not send your IP address to a geolocation provider for website analytics, or store it in new analytics events.

Rejecting or withdrawing prevents subsequent optional analytics and removes vk_sid from this browser on the next request. A Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal also suppresses it. Withdrawing does not by itself erase older records, application security logs or backups; contact us about a data request. No advertising cookies are set by this implementation.

External destinations

Choosing a WhatsApp link opens a third-party app or website; an email link opens your email app. Those services have their own privacy and storage practices. WhatsApp may process your phone number, profile and messages when you use it. No WhatsApp widget or tracking script is loaded by our contact links. Public product and AI examples use fictional local demonstration content, not a live AI conversation.
