Cookie Policy

Essential

The site can’t run securely without these, and they aren’t used to track you.

• cupcode_sid: session and security, forged-request protection, and sign-in for administrators and CUP CODE members. The sign-in session ends after four hours without a visit or when the browser closes.
• Authentication: members and administrators use the same session cookie. Admin permissions remain separate from visitor accounts.
• Security — no separate security cookie; abuse protection relies on a hashed fingerprint on the server.

Preferences

• cup_lang — the language you chose (Arabic/English). One year.
• cup_theme (local storage in your browser, not a cookie) — dark or light theme.

Analytics

The site’s visit counter uses no cookies. If we ever enable an analytics tool that uses cookies, we’ll list it here by name, purpose and duration before turning it on.

Marketing

We don’t currently use advertising cookies, and no advertisers can place cookies on the site.

Control

You can delete cookies from your browser settings anytime. The site keeps working, though you may need to pick your language again, and the admin will need to sign in again.
