Cookie Policy

These cookies are strictly necessary for secure operation and do not require prior consent:

• Admin session cookie (session): encrypted authentication token for back-office coordinators.

• Language cookie (NEXT_LOCALE): saves your language preference (FR, EN, DE).

• Consent cookie (apticr_consent): stores your consent choice so you are not prompted on every page. Consent choices are stored for 6 months in accordance with project retention rules.

In the current GA4 setup used by APTIC-R, we operate on a prior consent basis and do not claim audience measurement exemption.

• Trackers used: third-party cookies set by Google (_ga, _ga_<ID>) measuring unique visitors and interest in our missions.

• Default retention period: 24 months.

• Strict activation rule: no Google Analytics script or cookie is loaded before you explicitly click 'Accept all' or enable analytics in the customization panel.

Certain user-friendly features utilize browser storage:

• Application drafts (localStorage): temporary local autosave of your responses while completing the form. This convenience feature automatically clears upon submission.

• Session deduplication (sessionStorage): ephemeral technical variable that clears upon closing your browser tab.

You maintain full control over your preferences at all times:

• Site preference panel: you can modify or withdraw consent at any time via the 'Cookie settings' link in the footer.

• Browser controls: you can also configure or delete cookies directly in your browser preferences.
