1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser by a website you visit. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (like sign-in state) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you come back or move from page to page.
We also use similar technologies such as browser local storage and session storage, which serve comparable purposes. In this policy, we use the word "cookie" to cover all of these.
2. Essential cookies
These are strictly necessary to run the site and deliver the service you have asked for (like keeping you signed in or remembering your cookie choice). They cannot be switched off and do not require consent under EU law.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| talos.cookie-consent.v1 | Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask you again on every page. | 12 months |
| sb-access-token / sb-refresh-token | Keeps you signed in to your Talos account. | Session / 30 days |
| talos-session | Maintains a stable session while you navigate the site. | Session |
3. Analytics cookies (optional)
If you accept analytics in the banner, we use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are read, how visitors arrive at the site, and where they get stuck. We use aggregated data only — we do not build advertising profiles or sell data.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _plausible / plausible_ignore | Plausible Analytics (EU) | Anonymous page-view and referrer statistics. | Session / 30 days |
If you have not accepted analytics, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics requests are sent.
4. Marketing and third-party cookies
We do not currently use marketing, retargeting, or advertising cookies. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting them.
5. How to change your choice
You can change your cookie choice at any time:
- Clear the storage entry named talos.cookie-consent.v1 in your browser and reload the page — the banner will reappear so you can choose again.
- Use your browser's cookie and site data settings to block or delete cookies for this site. Note that blocking essential cookies may break sign-in.
- For a full reset, use your browser's 'Clear site data' option for this domain.
A one-click preference control will be added to the footer of every page. For now, if you want us to change your choice on our end, email privacy@talos.be.
6. Do Not Track
We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal: if your browser sends DNT, we treat it as a decision not to load optional analytics, regardless of the banner choice.
