This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies eliptum.tech uses. It is written to meet the EU ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (art. 5(3)), Romanian Law no. 506/2004 (art. 4) and the GDPR.
In short
This website does not set any cookies. There is no analytics, advertising, social-media or other third-party tracking.
If you only read the site, nothing is stored on your device. If you send the contact form, use the chat or sign in, the site saves one entry in your browser's local storage so that you stay signed in and find your conversation again. It is strictly necessary for that service, which you asked for, so the law does not require your consent and we do not show a cookie banner.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and device fingerprinting. The law requires a website to ask for your consent before using any of them, unless they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.
2. What this site uses
| Category | Used? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Cookies of any kind | No | The public site works without any cookies, including the contact form, the chat and accounts. |
| Local storage, strictly necessary | Only after you use the contact form, the chat or an account | One entry, eliptum.session, described below. |
| Preference / functional storage | No | No settings are remembered on your device. |
| Analytics / statistics | No | No Google Analytics or similar tools. We do not count or follow individual visitors. |
| Marketing / advertising | No | No ad networks, pixels or retargeting. |
| Third-party content | No | Fonts, images and scripts are all served from our own server. No embedded videos, maps or social widgets. |
| Session storage, fingerprinting | No | Not used. |
The local storage entry
What is in eliptum.session | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Device ID: a random identifier generated in your browser | Signs this browser back in to your guest account, so your conversation is there on your next visit | Until you choose "Delete my conversation and data" in the chat window or clear this site's data in your browser. The refresh token stops working after 60 days without use or when you sign out. |
| Device type: desktop, tablet or phone | Sent together with the device ID when signing in | |
| Refresh token, and whether the account is a guest account | Keeps you signed in without asking for your password on every visit |
The entry is created the moment you first send the contact form or a chat message, register or sign in, and not before. It is read only by this website, is sent only to our own server, and is not used for statistics, advertising or to recognise you on other websites. A short-lived access token is also kept in the page's memory while the page is open, and disappears when you close it. Under art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user does not need consent. What we do with the related account data is described in the Privacy Policy.
The only exception is our private administration area (/admin/), used by our own staff. Signing in there sets two strictly necessary cookies, sessionid (keeps the administrator signed in, up to two weeks) and csrftoken (security protection against cross-site request forgery, one year). Ordinary visitors never reach that area and never receive these cookies.
3. Server logs
Our web server records technical request data (including your IP address) for security purposes. This does not involve cookies or anything stored on your device. It is described in the Privacy Policy.
4. Controlling cookies
Because we set no cookies, you do not need to do anything about them. To remove the local storage entry, choose "Delete my conversation and data" in the chat window (this also erases the data on our server), or clear the site data for eliptum.tech in your browser settings. If you block local storage in your browser, the chat still works, but your conversation will not be there on your next visit. Your browser's help pages explain how to manage site data.
5. Changes
If we ever add a tool that uses cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent with a clear banner that lets you accept or refuse them equally easily. Nothing non-essential will run before you agree.
