Cookie notice

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites work and remember your preferences. texmas.com keeps its use of cookies deliberately minimal.

Cookies we use

• Strictly necessary — remember your cookie choices (texmas_consent, 180 days), keep you signed in to member services (Supabase session cookies), and complete a Google sign-in: a short-lived cookie holds your pending sign-in while you enter the emailed code (up to 10 minutes) and, once you have, a signed cookie remembers this browser for 30 days so you are not asked again. The site cannot function properly without these. When you submit a form, Google reCAPTCHA — our spam protection — may also set a cookie of its own; it runs only on forms and is governed by Google’s privacy policy.
• Analytics — Google Analytics helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. It is set only if you accept it in the cookie banner. Separately, Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without cookies and without identifying you; it needs no consent because it stores nothing on your device.

Local storage

Besides cookies, the site keeps a few small preferences in your browser’s own storage: your cookie choices, whether you have dismissed the newsletter invitation, and whether you have already seen the opening animation — and, for office administrators, the Code of Conduct acknowledgement they signed on that device. These never leave your device and are not sent to us — clearing your browser data removes them.

Your choices

You can change your choices at any time using the “Cookie preference centre” link in the footer, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Declining non-essential cookies does not limit your use of the site.
