Cookies Policy

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can recognise you on later visits. This page lists every cookie BigDataCyberCloud sets, why, and how to switch it off.

Last updated: 10 June 2026.

1. Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the site to work. They cannot be switched off — but they don't track you across other sites.

setup-complete

Purpose: Marks first-run setup as done so the admin area stops redirecting to the install wizard.

Lifetime: 1 year.

Set by: the site itself, on this domain.

next-auth.session-token (or __Secure-next-auth.session-token)

Purpose: Logged-in session identifier for the /admin area. Only set after a successful admin login.

Lifetime: Session (deleted when the browser closes), or 30 days for "remember me".

Set by: NextAuth.js running on this site.

next-auth.csrf-token

Purpose: CSRF protection for admin login.

Lifetime: Session.

Set by: NextAuth.js running on this site.

2. Analytics (only with consent)

These cookies are set only if you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent any time by clicking "Cookie preferences" in the footer.

_ga / _ga_*

Purpose: Google Analytics 4 — pseudonymous visitor counts, session length, country.

Lifetime: Up to 2 years.

Set by: google-analytics.com (third-party).

3. How to control or delete cookies

On this site: use the cookie banner (first visit) or the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
In your browser: every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies — see Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Blocking the "strictly necessary" cookies will break the admin area but won't affect browsing the public pages.

4. Changes

If we add a new cookie we'll update this page and re-prompt for consent where consent is required. See also our Privacy Policy for the broader picture.
