1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your browser. Similar technologies, including local storage and session storage, allow a website to remember information on your device either for a browsing session or for a longer period.
2. How this website uses them
The NORED website uses storage that is necessary to provide requested features and maintain a reliable experience.
- Authentication storage keeps authorised users signed in and supports secure account sessions.
- Application storage can preserve an unfinished application or form draft on the user’s device.
- Preference and session storage remembers limited choices or navigation state needed for a feature to work.
- Security-related storage helps protect accounts and reduce misuse.
- Optional Google Analytics cookies measure visits, public document download clicks, and application progress only after you accept analytics. Google processes technical usage data to provide these reports. Advertising personalisation is disabled; applicant form answers and uploaded documents are not sent.
- Your analytics preference is stored in this browser. Use Analytics preferences in the footer to change it. Rejecting analytics stops future collection and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies without affecting sign-in or applications.
3. Embedded and third-party services
Some pages embed or link to services such as Google Maps and YouTube. Those providers may set their own cookies or collect technical information when their content loads or when you follow a link. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing storage
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and other site data. Blocking essential storage may prevent sign-in, saved drafts, or other website features from working correctly. You can also sign out and clear stored site data from your browser settings when using a shared device.
5. Changes and contact
This policy may be updated if website features or the storage technologies they use change. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
