Cookie policy
A short, honest cookie policy
We keep cookies to a minimum. The IKAN portal sets a small set of strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. Everything else, analytics and error diagnostics, stays off until you opt in. This page lists every cookie and how to control it.

1What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. We also use closely-related browser storage (localStorage) for the same purposes. We group them into strictly-necessary cookies, which the portal cannot function without, and optional cookies (analytics and diagnostics), which we only set with your consent.
2Cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token / sb-refresh-token1st party | Essential | Keeps you securely signed in (Supabase Auth session). | Session + refresh window |
| ikan_consent1st party | Essential | Remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask again. | 1 year |
| ikan_theme1st party | Functional | Remembers your theme and display preferences. | 1 year |

We never use cookies for cross-site advertising, ad-network tracking, or selling data to third parties.
3The consent banner
On your first visit you’ll see a consent banner. Accept all enables optional analytics and diagnostics; Essential only keeps everything optional switched off. Until you choose, no analytics or diagnostic cookies are set, only the strictly-necessary ones above.
Your choice is stored in the ikan_consent cookie and in your browser’s local storage for one year, so we don’t keep asking. Withdrawing or changing consent later is as easy as giving it, see below.
4Managing your choices
- Reset the banner: clear cookies and site data for this portal (or just delete the
ikan_consentcookie) and reload, the banner reappears so you can choose again. - Browser controls: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and break parts of the portal.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: where your browser sends these signals, we treat them as a request to keep optional cookies off.
