Cookie policy
This page explains what cookies are, which ones Mirror Cloudcore uses, and how you can accept, reject, or disable them. It should be read with our privacy notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when a site asks the browser to remember a fact — a consent choice, a language, or a visit for measurement. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) can play the same role. On this site, your cookie banner choice is stored in localStorage under a brand-prefixed key, not only as a classic cookie.
Types we use
Essential. Needed to remember your Accept or Reject choice and to keep basic pages working. These do not require analytics consent. Rejecting analytics does not block programmes, forms, or content.
Analytics (optional). Used only if you press Accept, to understand which programme and journal pages are read. If you press Reject, we do not set analytics cookies. The studio remains fully usable either way.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| mirror-cloudcore-cookie-consent | Stores whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics (localStorage key). | Until you clear site data or change the choice | Mirror Cloudcore (first party) |
| mc_session_guard | Optional essential cookie used by some hosts to keep a browsing session stable. | Session (deleted when the browser closes) | Mirror Cloudcore / hosting provider |
| mc_read_path | Analytics: which programme or journal path was viewed, if you accepted. | 6 months | Mirror Cloudcore (first party) |
| _fonts_cdn | May be set by the font provider to deliver typefaces efficiently. | Up to 1 year (provider-controlled) | Google Fonts (third party) |
| unsplash_i | May appear when images are loaded from Unsplash’s image network. | Provider-controlled, typically under 1 year | Unsplash (third party) |
How to manage or disable cookies
On first visit, the banner offers Accept and Reject with equal clarity. Your choice is saved as mirror-cloudcore-cookie-consent. To decide again, clear this site’s localStorage (or all site data) in your browser settings and reload; the banner will return.
You can also block or delete cookies in browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and others each have a privacy or cookies panel). Blocking all cookies may affect font loading or image CDNs; it will not be used by us as a reason to withhold teaching content.
Third-party cookies
Fonts and public images are loaded from third-party networks. Those networks may set their own cookies or similar identifiers according to their policies. We do not control their duration. Optional analytics on our domain runs only after Accept.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics or disabling optional cookies does not hide syllabi, forms, or legal pages. You may see the consent banner again after clearing storage. If you block essential storage entirely, the banner may reappear every visit and we may be unable to remember a Reject choice — the site still functions.
