Cookie policy
Effective date: 21 September 2026.
Kuriake Castle uses essential cookies and browser storage to operate kuriakecastle.org and remember your choices.
Essential sign-in cookies
The drogs_session cookie maintains a member's sign-in. The kc_office cookie maintains a separate office session. These server-set, HttpOnly cookies are restricted to the website, with Secure protection on HTTPS and SameSite safeguards.
A standard session lasts up to 12 hours. If you choose to remain signed in, it can last up to 30 days. Signing out ends the relevant session. Office and member sessions are separate.
Browser preferences
Local storage remembers your theme, directory photograph-display preference, side-panel layout and choice to remain signed in. Indicative exchange rates are cached for up to 12 hours to avoid repeated requests. Preferences remain until changed or cleared.
Session storage supports short-lived navigation and access-gate state. These values operate the interface and are not advertising profiles. Closing the browser session normally clears session storage, although browser session-restore settings may affect this.
Analytics and advertising
The website does not add advertising cookies, advertising pixels or behavioural analytics scripts. We do not use browser preferences to build advertising profiles. If optional analytics or marketing technologies are introduced, we will explain their purposes and obtain consent before use where required.
Third-party services
Hosting and network security services may also use necessary technologies to deliver the website and prevent abuse. Their processing is governed by their own privacy and cookie information.
Your controls
You can view, block or delete cookies and clear browser storage in your browser settings. Clearing storage may sign you out and reset preferences. Blocking essential cookies may prevent account or payment features from working. Public policy pages can be read without signing in.
Questions and updates
Email kuriakecastle@gmail.com with questions. We update this page if storage practices change. Our privacy policy explains personal information and your rights.
