Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences.
Cyber Arcanum uses only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. We do not use any third-party tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.
Name: authentik_session
Purpose: Maintains your authenticated session after you sign in. This cookie is set by our identity provider (Authentik) and is required for you to stay logged in as you navigate the Platform.
Type: Secure, HTTP-only, SameSite=Lax
Duration: Session-based (expires when the authentication session ends)
Name: authentik_csrf
Purpose: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks during authentication flows.
Type: Secure, HTTP-only
Duration: Session-based
We do not set any third-party cookies. Cloudflare, which provides DNS and security services for the Platform, may set its own security cookies (such as __cf_bm) to distinguish between humans and bots. These are strictly functional and are governed by Cloudflare's Cookie Policy.
Since we only use essential cookies, disabling them will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly — you will not be able to sign in or maintain an authenticated session.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect your ability to use the Platform.
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and security, and do not use any tracking or marketing cookies, a cookie consent banner is not required under most privacy regulations including GDPR and the UK PECR.
If we introduce any new cookies in the future, we will update this policy and notify users accordingly. Should we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will implement appropriate consent mechanisms.
