1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Tribunal OS ("Platform," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or use our platform at tribunaliq.org. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
By continuing to use the Platform, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described in this Policy. If you do not consent, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or discontinue use of the Platform, understanding that certain features may not function properly without cookies.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies serve various functions, including enabling the website to recognize your device, maintaining your session state, remembering your preferences, and collecting analytical data about how you interact with the website.
Cookies can be classified by their duration (session cookies that expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies that remain on your device for a set period) and by their origin (first-party cookies set by the website you are visiting, and third-party cookies set by external services).
3. Cookies and Technologies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security protections. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot operate as intended.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_token | Maintains your authenticated session after OAuth login. This cookie is HTTP-only and signed with a server-side secret to prevent tampering. | Session / 7 days | First-party |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks by validating that form submissions and API requests originate from the Platform. | Session | First-party |
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They remember your preferences and settings to provide a more tailored experience.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme_preference | Stores your selected display theme (light or dark mode) so the Platform renders with your preferred appearance on subsequent visits. | 1 year | First-party |
| sidebar_state | Remembers whether you have expanded or collapsed the dashboard sidebar navigation. | 1 year | First-party |
3.3 Analytical Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use the Platform, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on each page. This data is aggregated and anonymized to help us understand usage patterns and improve the Platform.
| Technology | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics tracking | Collects anonymized page view and interaction data to measure Platform performance and identify areas for improvement. Data is processed in aggregate form only. | Session / 30 days | First-party |
3.4 Local Storage
In addition to cookies, the Platform uses browser local storage to maintain certain client-side state:
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| mppt_user_id | Stores a locally generated identifier used to associate Deep Analysis sessions with your browser. This identifier does not contain personal information and is used solely for session continuity. | Persistent until cleared |
| mppt_session_id | Stores the current Deep Analysis session identifier to maintain continuity during active analysis workflows. | Persistent until cleared |
4. Third-Party Cookies
The Platform minimizes the use of third-party cookies. Where third-party services are integrated (such as analytics providers), we ensure that data processing agreements are in place and that data collection is limited to what is necessary for the specific functionality provided. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on the Platform.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to control how cookies are used on your device. You can manage your cookie preferences through the following methods:
5.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. The specific steps vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data
5.2 Local Storage
You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data for tribunaliq.org in your browser settings.
5.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to authenticate or maintain a session on the Platform, which will prevent access to protected features including case management, AI service execution, and Deep Analysis. Disabling functional cookies will result in the Platform not remembering your preferences, requiring you to reconfigure settings on each visit.
6. Do Not Track Signals
The Platform respects Do Not Track ("DNT") signals sent by your browser. When a DNT signal is detected, we limit data collection to strictly necessary cookies required for Platform operation and disable analytical tracking for that session.
7. Data Protection and Cookie Security
All authentication cookies are configured with the following security attributes:
- HttpOnly: Authentication cookies are not accessible to client-side JavaScript, preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks from reading session tokens.
- Secure: Cookies are transmitted only over encrypted HTTPS connections.
- SameSite: Cookies include SameSite attributes to mitigate cross-site request forgery (CSRF) risks.
- Signed: Session cookies are cryptographically signed with a server-side secret to prevent tampering or forgery.
8. Children's Privacy
The Platform is not directed at individuals under the age of sixteen (16). We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data from children. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
9. Updates to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
