Cookie Policy
Effective date: 13 April 2026 · Last updated: 13 April 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Julay uses first-party cookies only; we do not embed third-party advertising or tracking scripts.
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period or until you delete them).
Cookies we use
The table below lists every cookie Julay sets, grouped by purpose category. We keep this list up to date whenever we add or remove cookies.
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the service to function. You cannot opt out of them while using Julay. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for authentication and security.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
julay_session |
Maintains your authenticated session across page loads. | Session | 1st party |
julay_auth |
Stores a secure authentication token so you stay logged in between browser sessions. | 30 days | 1st party |
julay_csrf |
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) token that helps protect form submissions from malicious attacks. | Session | 1st party |
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience. They are not strictly necessary, but disabling them may affect how the app looks and behaves.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
julay_lang |
Saves your language preference so you are presented with the correct locale on each visit. | 1 year | 1st party |
julay_theme |
Remembers your UI theme selection (light, dark, or system default). | 1 year | 1st party |
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our marketing site. Plausible is a privacy-first, EU-hosted analytics provider.
The one analytics-adjacent cookie we set is your consent record:
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|
julay_consent_v1 |
Records your cookie consent choices so we do not show the consent banner on every page view. | 1 year | 1st party |
Marketing
We currently use no marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, request your consent before setting any such cookies.
How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that removing strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using Julay — you will need to sign in again and some features may not work correctly.
You can also use browser extensions such as Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin to manage cookies across all websites you visit.
Our consent banner
When you first visit julay.org, a consent banner is displayed that lets you accept or
decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in the julay_consent_v1
cookie for one year. You can change your preferences at any time using the
"Cookie settings" link in the footer.
Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless of your consent because they are essential for the operation of the service. Functional and analytics cookie categories are only activated after you give explicit consent, unless applicable law permits otherwise.
For full details on how we process personal data and your rights under applicable data protection law, please read our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the product or by email.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
