This cookie is HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax. It is classed as strictly necessary under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), so consent is not required.

4. Local Storage

We may use your browser's local storage to remember small preferences such as your chosen theme. Local storage is not a cookie and is never sent to our servers.

5. Managing Cookies

You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. If you block the authentication cookie, you will not be able to sign in to Colchester.Network.

6. Changes to This Policy
