1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are signed in — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
2. Why We Use Cookies
eTalpa uses cookies exclusively for authentication and security. We do not use advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics cookies.

| Name | Category | Purpose | Expiry | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
kuromatavimas_session | Strictly Necessary | Authenticates the administrator session. Contains an HMAC-signed timestamp; no personal data. | 8 hours | First-party |
__Secure-authjs.session-token | Strictly Necessary | Stores your signed-in OAuth session (Google / Microsoft). Required to access the platform. | 24 hours | First-party (next-auth) |
cookie_consent | Strictly Necessary | Records your cookie preference choices and the date of consent so we do not show the banner again unnecessarily. | 12 months | First-party |
In development environments the OAuth cookie may be named authjs.session-token (without the __Secure- prefix).
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
All cookies listed above are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking authentication. Under ePrivacy regulations, strictly necessary cookies do not require your prior consent — however, we disclose them here for full transparency.
5. How to Manage or Delete Cookies

6. Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or materially change how we use existing ones, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Where consent is the lawful basis we will re-obtain it.
