- Reject all optional categories
- Customize at category level
You can change your choice at any time from the Cookie settings control in the footer.
Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent.
6. Consent evidence (audit records)
When you submit or update cookie choices, we create a compliance record. Depending on context, this record may include:
- Consent action (accepted_all, rejected_all, saved_preferences, updated_preferences)
- Category choices
- Consent/policy version
- Timestamp
- Locale/region
- Pseudonymous technical metadata needed for integrity and abuse prevention
These records are used only for compliance governance, security, and dispute handling.
7. Retention
- Browser cookie preference (dinorant_cookie_consent): up to 12 months
- Other consent-related local storage: until you clear browser storage or update preferences
- Server-side consent logs: retained for a limited period based on compliance and security needs, and no longer than necessary
8. Third parties
If optional categories are enabled in the future, third-party providers may set/read identifiers according to your choices and their own privacy documentation.
9. Your rights
You can withdraw consent for non-essential categories at any time without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal.
