1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites save in your browser. Local storage and session storage work in a similar way to keep small pieces of information in your browser. In this policy we simply call them all “cookies”.
2. Which ones do we use?
Only those strictly necessary for the site to work the way you ask it to. They stay in your browser and are never sent to us or to any other server.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
iaubc-theme | Local storage | Remembers your light or dark theme choice. | Until you clear it |
iaubc-consent | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choice and its date so the notice does not reappear. | Until you clear it |
iaubc-loaded | Session storage | Shows the opening animation only once per session. | Cleared when the tab closes |
__Secure-iaubc_rt | Cookie | Only on the admin panel: keeps a club team member signed in. Never set for visitors. | 14 days |
Fonts are served from this site itself; no requests go to outside services such as Google Fonts. No analytics, advertising or social media tracking tools are used.
3. Third-party services and links
The contact and application forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm that submissions come from a person. The check loads from Cloudflare’s servers on those two pages only, and Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details while it runs. Turnstile is not used for advertising or tracking; Cloudflare’s privacy policy has the details.
The site links to Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub and WhatsApp. When you follow one of those links you move to that platform, and its own cookie and privacy policies apply.
4. Managing your choices
Use the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of any page to reopen the notice at any time. You can also view and delete stored site data in your browser settings; doing so resets your theme choice.
If we ever add a non-essential tool such as visit statistics, it will only run with your explicit permission and this policy will be updated.
