Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how DEV-TO-DEV uses cookies and similar technologies. We keep this to a minimum: DEV-TO-DEV uses a single essential cookie, and no advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or to remember information about your visit.

2. Cookies We Use

DEV-TO-DEV sets one cookie:

• session_id — an essential authentication cookie that keeps you signed in between page loads.
  • Purpose: To remember that you are logged in.
  • Duration: 14 days, or until you log out.
  • Attributes: HTTP-only (not readable by scripts), sent over HTTPS in production, and limited to same-site requests (SameSite=Lax).

This cookie is strictly necessary to provide the signed-in experience and cannot be disabled without breaking authentication.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

DEV-TO-DEV does not use:

• Analytics or performance cookies.
• Advertising, targeting, or marketing cookies.
• Third-party tracking cookies or pixels.

4. Cookie Consent

When you first visit, we show a consent banner. Because DEV-TO-DEV only uses essential cookies, your choice is primarily recorded for transparency:

• Accept All — accepts all cookies (currently only the essential session_id).
• Reject Non-Essential — rejects any non-essential cookies (none are currently used).
• Cookie Settings — lets you review the cookies we use.

Your consent preference is stored locally in your browser (local storage), not in a cookie.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings, where you can view, block, or delete cookies for any site. Blocking the session_id cookie will prevent you from staying signed in to DEV-TO-DEV.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.

7. Contact

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact the DEV-TO-DEV team through the platform.
