- avoid signing in or using account-specific features if you do not want session cookies necessary for account operation.
Blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality, login persistence, language preference storage, or the performance of specific pages and forms.
6. Retention and expiry
Some cookies expire when you close your browser session, while others remain on the device for a defined period. Retention periods vary depending on the technical purpose, security need, and provider configuration. Where feasible, we aim to use expiry periods proportionate to the purpose involved.
