Cookie notice
Last updated 23 August 2026
Calder Standard sets cookies for one purpose: keeping you signed in. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party script of any kind. That is why you are not asked to accept anything.
What is set
| Cookie | Purpose | When |
|---|---|---|
sb-<project>-auth-token | Holds your authenticated session so you stay signed in between pages. Split across several numbered cookies when the session is larger than a single cookie allows. | Set when you sign in. Cleared when you sign out. |
Nothing is set before you sign in. Visiting the public pages of this site sets no cookies at all.
Why there is no consent banner
Consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary: analytics, advertising, personalisation and similar. Calder Standard sets none of those. A cookie that keeps you signed in after you have deliberately signed in is strictly necessary for a service you requested, and consent is not required for it under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations or their Gibraltar equivalent.
We would rather not set a cookie than ask you to dismiss a banner about one.
One thing worth naming, because you would see it if you looked. The public scope tool sends usage counts back to us: which steps were reached, which of three fixed answers was chosen, and how many characters were typed, never what they were. That is an ordinary request to this site and not a cookie: it stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it, which is why it raises no consent question. What it holds is set out in theprivacy notice.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser. Blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in, because there is then no way to keep you signed in between pages.
If this changes
If we ever add something that is not strictly necessary, we will ask for consent before setting it, and this page will say what it is and why. See also thesub-processors page, which lists every third party involved in running the service.
