Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you use the service. TPS uses a minimal set of cookies — only what is necessary to function and to understand usage at an aggregate level.
2. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for TPS to function. You cannot opt out of these cookies while remaining signed in to the platform.
| Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | 30 days | Authenticated session token (HTTP-only, Secure) |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Session | CSRF protection for authentication requests |
| next-auth.callback-url | Session | Stores the redirect URL after sign-in |
| tps-lang | 1 year | Remembers your language preference (English / Russian) |
3. Authentication Cookies
TPS uses NextAuth.js to manage authentication. The session cookie (next-auth.session-token) is HTTP-only and Secure, meaning it cannot be read by client-side JavaScript and is only transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. This cookie contains an encrypted JWT that identifies your session — your password is never stored in the cookie.
4. Analytics Cookies
TPS uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how users interact with the platform at an aggregate level. GA4 uses first-party cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions.
| Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | 2 years | Distinguishes unique users for Google Analytics |
| _ga_* | 2 years | Stores and counts page views for the GA4 property |
GA4 data is processed by Google LLC. Your email address and personal identifiers are not sent to Google Analytics. To opt out of GA4, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Marketing Cookies
TPS does not currently use marketing, advertising, or retargeting cookies. We do not share data with ad networks. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be notified.
6. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to TPS.

- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
