Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. They allow the service to recognise your device and remember certain information about your session or preferences.

We use a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or cookies that build profiles of your behaviour across other websites.

These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.

• Session token (auth_token): A short-lived JSON Web Token stored in an HTTP-only cookie that authenticates you while your session is active. Expires on logout or after inactivity.
• CSRF token: Protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery attacks. Deleted at session end.

These cookies remember preferences you have set to improve your experience.

• accessibility_prefs: Stores your chosen font (including OpenDyslexic), text size, contrast mode, and line spacing. Persists for 12 months or until cleared.
• sidebar_state: Remembers whether the navigation sidebar was open or collapsed. Session-scoped.

We use server-side aggregated analytics to understand overall platform usage patterns. This does not involve placing analytics cookies on your device and does not track you individually across sessions.

IC does not load third-party advertising or social media scripts. Our payment provider Stripe may set cookies during checkout under their own cookie policy at stripe.com/cookies-policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Deleting strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in. Functional cookies can be cleared without affecting login, though your accessibility preferences will reset.
