1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your login status or preferences — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary: to make the Application function (login sessions, security tokens).
Functional: to remember your preferences across sessions (e.g., "Remember Me" login).
Analytics: with your consent, to understand how visitors interact with the Application so we can improve it.
Security: to protect forms from automated abuse (Google reCAPTCHA).

4. Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (property G-ZMVMEW6PZ6) to collect aggregated, anonymized information about how visitors use torahreaders.net. Google Analytics cookies are only set if you click Accept on our cookie banner. If you click Decline, Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set.

Google may transfer and store analytics data on servers in the United States. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can also opt out globally using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 on our registration and contact forms to protect against spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may set its own cookie (_GRECAPTCHA) and collects hardware and software information. This is a security measure and is active regardless of your analytics consent choice. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your consent for analytics cookies at any time:

Cookie banner: Click "Decline" on the banner that appears when you first visit the site.
Reset your preference: Clear the tr_cookie_consent cookie in your browser settings, then reload the page — the banner will reappear.
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies (such as PHPSESSID) will prevent you from logging in.

6. Strictly Necessary Cookies and Consent

Strictly necessary cookies (PHPSESSID and tr_cookie_consent) do not require your consent because they are essential for the Application to function. They are set automatically when you visit the site or log in. All other cookie categories (analytics) require your explicit consent.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Please check this page periodically.
