We only use the cookies we need to make the site work, mainly to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies, and we don't share cookie data with advertisers. Because every cookie we use is strictly necessary, UK law doesn't require us to ask for consent, so you won't see a cookie banner.
| Cookie | Set by | What it's for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
AppServiceAuthSession | theitperson.co.uk (Microsoft Azure sign-in) | Keeps you signed in to the portal after you sign in with your Microsoft account | Until you sign out or close your browser, or up to 8 hours |
Nonce and other short-lived sign-in cookies | theitperson.co.uk (Microsoft Azure sign-in) | Protect the sign-in process from being tampered with | A few minutes, during sign-in only |
ARRAffinity, ARRAffinitySameSite | theitperson.co.uk (Microsoft Azure hosting) | Keep your visit connected to the same server so the site works reliably | Until you close your browser |
When you sign in with Microsoft, Microsoft's own sign-in pages (login.microsoftonline.com) set their own cookies. These are covered by Microsoft's privacy statement.
When you pay, you're taken to Stripe's secure checkout (checkout.stripe.com). Stripe uses its own cookies there, mainly to prevent fraud. These are covered by Stripe's cookie policy. Your card details go to Stripe, never to us.
Fonts: the site's fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This doesn't set any cookies, but like any website request, Google sees your IP address when the fonts load. See Google's privacy policy.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the cookies above, you won't be able to sign in to the portal, because they're needed for sign-in to work.
If we ever add a cookie that isn't strictly necessary, for example analytics, we'll update this notice and ask for your consent first.
