What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. It can hold a short piece of data — for example, a session ID — that the site reads on your next visit. Some cookies are set by us; others are set by third parties whose services we use (e.g. analytics).
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the site to function — for example, the session cookie that keeps you signed in to the admin, and the CSRF token that protects forms from attack. They cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
moviessavvy_session— session identifier (expires after 2 hours of inactivity).XSRF-TOKEN— CSRF protection token (expires with the session).moviessavvy_consent— remembers your cookie choices (expires after 12 months).
Analytics (optional)
If you accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate usage — pages visited, referrers, country, device. We do not use analytics for personalised advertising. You can decline these at any time.
_ga,_ga_*— Google Analytics 4 visitor and session identifiers (expires after up to 2 years).
How to control cookies
You can change your cookie choices at any time using the button (also available from the cookie banner the first time you visit), or by clearing cookies in your browser. Most browsers also let you block cookies entirely or alert you when a cookie is set — see your browser's help pages for instructions.
Do Not Track
We honour browser-level signals where the law requires it (e.g. Global Privacy Control in California). For other Do Not Track signals, we treat them as a request to decline analytics cookies on this site.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add, remove or change the cookies we use. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
