Cookie Policy

Effective date: See document header. Version: 1.

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used by the Technovize website, in compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet).

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. “Similar technologies” include localStorage, sessionStorage, and tracking pixels — we treat them under the same rules.

Categories we use

Strictly necessary (no consent required)

These cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off.

Name	Purpose	Duration
`technovize_sessionid`	Keeps you logged in.	Session
`technovize_csrftoken`	Protects against cross-site request forgery.	1 year
`django_language`	Remembers your chosen language.	1 year

Preferences (stored in localStorage, not cookies)

We store a single theme preference (light / dark / system) in your browser’s localStorage so the site respects your choice across visits. This data does not leave your device.

Analytics

We do not currently run third-party analytics cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before loading any analytics scripts.

Marketing

None. We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.

Third-party cookies

Stripe. When you visit a checkout page, Stripe may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and session management. See Stripe’s cookie policy at https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.

Managing your consent

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site (login, forms). Blocking third-party cookies (Stripe) may prevent checkout from working.
