Cookies

This portal uses cookies to operate securely and reliably. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you access the portal. They help the system recognise your browser and maintain your session. Cookies do not contain information such as your name or contact details, but they may hold technical data that is necessary for the portal to function.

We only use cookies that are essential for the operation of the portal. We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or marketing.

Why we use cookies

Cookies allow the portal to:

  • Keep you signed in securely while you move between pages.
  • Protect your session from misuse or unauthorised access.
  • Remember your language preference so the portal displays in Welsh or English.
  • Record basic technical information needed for system performance and security.

Without these cookies, the portal would not work as intended.

Types of cookies used

  • Session cookies
    These are temporary cookies created when you sign in. They hold a secure token that confirms your identity through Microsoft Entra Single Sign-On (SSO). Session cookies are deleted automatically when you sign out or close your browser.

  • Language preference cookies
    These store your choice of Welsh or English so you do not need to reset it each time you visit. They remain on your device until you clear them or until they expire automatically.

  • Security cookies
    Some cookies help detect unusual activity and protect against misuse. They ensure that only authenticated users can access referral and report information.

How long cookies are kept

  • Session cookies are deleted immediately when you sign out or close your browser.
  • Language preference cookies may be kept for up to 12 months, unless you delete them earlier in your browser settings.
  • Security cookies are kept only as long as required to maintain an active session.

Your choices

Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, please note that if you disable essential cookies:

  • You will not be able to sign in.
  • You may lose access to reports and referrals.
  • The portal may not display in your chosen language.

Because cookies are required for security and core functionality, they must be accepted in order to use this portal.
