The short version
We use only the cookies this website needs to work. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other websites. Optional cookies stay off unless you turn them on.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let the website remember things between pages or visits, such as that you are logged in. Similar tools, like your browser’s local storage, work in the same way, and this policy covers them too.
2. How we use cookies
We keep cookies to a minimum. This website uses:
- Essential cookies, which keep forms secure, keep NTC staff logged in, and remember your cookie choices. The website cannot work properly without them, so they are always on.
- Optional cookies, which we do not use at present. If we add them in future, they will stay off unless you allow them.
3. Essential cookies we use
| Name | What it does | Set by | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__Host-ntc |
Holds a security code that protects the contact form from forged submissions. For NTC staff, it also keeps them logged in to the staff area. | ntcinfo.org | Until you close your browser. Staff are logged out after 30 minutes without activity, and after 8 hours at most. |
ntc_consent |
Remembers the cookie choices you made, so we do not ask you on every page. | ntcinfo.org | 6 months |
None of these cookies are used for advertising or to follow you to other websites.
4. Optional cookies
We do not use any optional cookies at present. Our cookie settings include two kinds so that, if we ever add them, they stay off unless you say yes:
- Visitor statistics: counting visits and popular pages so we can improve the website.
- Embedded media: videos or posts from sites such as YouTube or Facebook shown inside our pages. Those sites may set their own cookies.
If we start using either kind, we will list the cookies here and ask for your choice again.
5. Your choices
- When you first visit, a notice lets you accept optional cookies or keep essential cookies only. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a choice of essential cookies only and do not show the notice. You can still turn optional cookies on in Cookie settings.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, the contact form and the staff login will not work.
6. Other websites
Links to our Facebook and Instagram pages and to other websites do not set cookies on ntcinfo.org. Those sites may set their own cookies when you visit them, under their own policies.
7. Changes to this policy
We will update this page if the cookies we use change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Questions? Email info@ntcinfo.org or read our Privacy Policy.
