Cookie policy
Last updated: 25 August 2026
We use only strictly necessary cookies
ChildTrace does not run advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party tracking scripts of any kind. The only cookies we set are the ones required for the site to function — to keep you signed in, protect forms against forgery, and remember your language choice. Because these are strictly necessary, we do not show a cookie-consent pop-up: there is nothing optional to accept or decline.
The cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
childtrace-session |
Keeps you signed in and remembers your session as you move between pages. HttpOnly (not readable by page scripts) and restricted to same-site requests. | Up to 2 hours of inactivity, or until you sign out |
XSRF-TOKEN |
A security token that protects forms and account actions from being forged by another website. | Same as the session |
Your language choice (English or French) is remembered as part of your session — it is not a separate tracking cookie and is discarded when your session ends.
What we don't do
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No third-party analytics scripts
- No social-media tracking pixels
- No cross-site behavioral profiling
If this ever changes — for example, if we introduce privacy-preserving product analytics — we will update this page first and, where the change requires it, ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Because our only cookies are strictly necessary, blocking them will prevent you from staying signed in and may block form submissions on the professional console; public reporting pages remain usable.
