Cookie Policy.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser to help it function, remember preferences and understand how the website is being used. This website uses only strictly-necessary, functional and, where applicable, analytics cookies.

2. Types of cookies used

• Strictly necessary cookies: Session cookies required for authentication, security and route protection on this website. Without these, the Members’ Portal and Admin Portal cannot function.
• Functional cookies: Cookies remembering user preferences such as chosen language, theme or dismissed banners.
• Analytics cookies: Aggregated, anonymous analytics used to improve the website. These are enabled only with user consent, where applicable.

3. Third-party cookies

The website does not currently deploy third-party advertising or profiling cookies. When third-party embeds (for example, video, maps or academic databases) are added in the future, their cookies will be disclosed here.

4. Managing cookies

You may control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly-necessary cookies will prevent secure login to the Members’ Portal and Admin Portal.

5. Retention

Session cookies expire when your browser is closed. Persistent cookies expire on the dates set within them, ranging from 30 days to 12 months, unless deleted earlier.

6. Updates

The Society may update this policy from time to time as its digital services expand. Material changes will be notified on this page.
