Draft for legal review

Cookie Notice

PublicVoiceShield currently uses only strictly necessary storage for signing you in and keeping your session secure, plus a small amount of local storage that keeps your place in the analysis workflow. There is no advertising, analytics or tracking, so there is no accept-all banner.

Effective date: To be confirmed before public launch

This document is provided for information only. It is not legal advice and no guarantee of compliance is given. Designed to support UK GDPR compliance, subject to organisational use, configuration and legal review.

What we actually use

  • Authentication session storage — the sign-in token issued by our authentication provider is stored in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in. Strictly necessary.
  • Security and session technologies — short-lived tokens used to verify requests and refresh your session. Strictly necessary.
  • Workflow preference storage — the Analyse Thread page keeps your in-progress analysis reference in local storage so a refresh does not lose your results. Strictly necessary for the feature you requested.

What we do not use

  • No analytics cookies.
  • No advertising or marketing cookies.
  • No cross-site tracking or profiling.
  • No third-party social media pixels.

Because no optional cookies are set, we do not show an accept-all banner. Showing one would be misleading.

If optional cookies are added later

  • A consent banner will appear with Accept optional cookies, Reject optional cookies and Manage preferences.
  • Optional cookies will default to off and will not be set before consent is given.
  • Consent can be withdrawn at any time from the same preferences control.

Managing browser storage

You can clear this storage in your browser settings, but doing so will sign you out. Questions: [Privacy contact email — TO BE CONFIRMED].
