Cookies, plainly.
We keep storage to the minimum that makes the site work and the assistant useful. You can reject everything non-essential and the site still works — you simply lose conversation memory and anonymous read counts.

You haven't decided yet — only strictly necessary storage is active.
What we collect
Strictly necessary
Always on
Needed for the site to work. Cannot be switched off.
- —Your cookie choice itself (localStorage: cortejtech.cookie-consent)
- —A random consent id (localStorage: cortejtech.consent.visitor) plus a server-side record of your choice, its date and the page you were on — kept as proof of consent, with no name, email or IP
- —Cloudflare Turnstile anti-spam challenge tokens on the contact form and assistant
- —Admin sign-in session token — only if you log into /admin (localStorage: sb-*-auth-token)
- —Short-lived server-side rate-limit records keyed to a hashed IP, to block brute force and spam
Functional
Optional · your choice
Remembers your chat conversation between page loads.
- —A random visitor id for the website chat (localStorage: cortejtech.ai.visitor)
- —Your last 40 assistant messages, stored in your browser (localStorage: cortejtech.ai.messages)
- —Conversation transcript on our server, so the assistant keeps context in a session
Analytics
Optional · your choice
Aggregate reading counts so we know which journal articles are useful.
- —One anonymous view count per article, per visitor, per day
- —Referring page and coarse country from your request headers — never stored against a name
- —No cross-site tracking, no advertising IDs, no session recording
