Cookies and local data

This document supplements both privacy notices. Storing or reading information on your device is governed by law, in Poland mainly Article 399 of the Electronic Communications Law. I distinguish data that is necessary for the service you ask for from optional data. Accepting the terms is not a blanket consent to cookies. This document does not by itself switch on anything optional.

• csrf – What it is for: Protects forms from being submitted by an unauthorised person; Longest validity (currently): 7 days
• me_session – What it is for: Customer session (being logged in); Longest validity (currently): 1 day, or 30 days if you choose “Remember me”
• me_admin_session – What it is for: Administrator session; Longest validity (currently): 12 hours
• mapengine_language – What it is for: The language you chose for the portal; Longest validity (currently): up to 1 year after you choose a language

Sessions and form protection serve the function you ask for. A longer session results from your choice. I set the language cookie after you choose a language, and it is not used for advertising or tracking. The expiry of a cookie is not the same as deleting a record on the server.

The protected administration panel may use additional Cloudflare Access login cookies. This applies only to that panel, not to a customer account.

The public website does not use its own tracking analytics or advertising. If I introduce statistics, advertising or optional embedded materials, I will first give you proper information and ask for consent if it is required; a refusal must really work. An external player may, once started, pass on the IP address and browser data and store information on the device.

The program stores locally interface and work settings, registration and licence data and the device key. While working it may remember results it has obtained. Your files, projects and copies stay in the places you chose. Protected registration data is not an ordinary browser cookie. Update files, temporary files and recovery data depend on the release of the program and on Windows.

Changing the computer or Windows account, or deleting local keys, may require registration again. Do not delete your own copies of files in order to “clear cookies”.

Logging out ends the relevant session. You can control cookies in your browser, but blocking them may make it impossible to log in or submit a form. Local settings of the application cannot be removed in the same way. If any optional processing is based on consent in future, I will let you withdraw it as easily as you gave it.
