How ESIDFI uses cookies and browser storage.

Last updated: 28 May 2026.

Overview

ESIDFI keeps cookie use limited. This website uses necessary browser storage to remember privacy preferences and support normal site operation. Optional analytics may be used only after consent, and are not required to access the website.

The consent notice shown on first visit lets you reject optional cookies, save a custom choice, or accept all optional analytics. You can reopen the same controls from the footer at any time.

What Cookies Are

Cookies and similar technologies are small pieces of information stored in your browser. They can remember preferences, keep a site secure, support forms, or help website operators understand how pages are used.

Local storage is a similar browser technology. It can keep a small preference record on your device so the website remembers your choice between visits.

Strictly Necessary Storage

We use necessary browser storage to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. This prevents the consent notice from appearing on every visit. Necessary storage does not require optional consent because it supports privacy preference management and basic website functionality.

• Preference record: remembers the consent choice you made for this website.
• Security and delivery records: may be created by hosting or infrastructure providers to keep the site available and protect it from misuse.

Optional Analytics

ESIDFI may use privacy-respecting analytics in the future to understand aggregate website usage, such as which pages are visited and whether publications are being found. Optional analytics should not be activated unless you accept them in the consent notice.

If analytics are introduced, ESIDFI intends to use them for aggregate measurement rather than advertising, behavioural profiling, or cross-site tracking. Analytics consent can be refused without limiting access to the website.

Consent Categories

• Necessary: always active for preference management, website delivery, and security.
• Analytics: optional and used only if you enable it in the consent notice.
• Marketing: not used by ESIDFI on this website at this time.

Current Preference Record

The site stores your cookie choice in local browser storage under esidfi_cookie_consent. The record may include the choice made, whether necessary storage is active, whether optional analytics were accepted, and the time the preference was saved.

This record is first-party, meaning it is set by this website for this website. It is used to avoid asking for the same preference on every page view.

Changing Your Choice

You can reopen the cookie settings from the footer at any time. You can also clear this website's local storage in your browser settings, which will reset the consent notice on your next visit.

If you reject optional cookies, only necessary storage remains active. If you later accept optional analytics, that preference applies from the time it is saved and does not retroactively change earlier visits.

Third-Party Content

If ESIDFI later embeds third-party media, maps, analytics, or event tools, those services may set their own cookies. Where required, those services should be disabled until you make an optional consent choice.

Third-party services may have their own privacy and cookie terms. ESIDFI should identify material third-party services in this policy if they become part of the website experience.

Browser Controls

Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies and local storage. Blocking all storage may affect whether the site can remember your preference, which can cause the consent notice to appear again.
