Cookies and storage
What is stored in your browser and when external services are contacted.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored by your browser. Forboka may also use temporary technical storage to maintain a session and protect forms. This page describes resources identified in the current version of the website; providers may change the names and duration of their own cookies.
2. Forboka essential cookies
The Symfony session cookie (usually PHPSESSID) maintains the session and features such as sign-in, forms and registration; it is temporary and expires according to browser/server session settings. Forms may create technical CSRF protection cookies, which are deleted after use or when the session ends. These elements are needed to provide a feature you request and are not used for advertising. Blocking them may prevent sign-in, form submission or booking.
3. External services
Google reCAPTCHA v3 loads only after a person allows that category and submits a form. An embedded map loads only after the person allows Google Maps and chooses to view the map. These two choices are independent. Forboka does not load Google Fonts: DM Sans and Fraunces are served from the Forboka domain. Stripe.js loads on the subscription checkout page when a person starts payment. Google and Stripe may receive technical data needed to provide the services the person chose to use.
4. Analytics and advertising
In this version, Forboka does not use advertising cookies or external audience measurement tools. Platform statistics are calculated server-side as daily aggregate counts; IP addresses are not stored in those statistics and detailed records are deleted after 180 days.
5. Managing cookies
Your choice is stored in the first-party cookie forboka_cookie_consent for 180 days. It records only the version and allowed categories and is needed to remember your preferences. You can change or withdraw each permission at any time using Cookie settings at the bottom of the page or your browser settings. When permission is withdrawn, new map embeds or reCAPTCHA requests are no longer loaded, according to the selected category. Removing this cookie does not erase data already held by Forboka or its providers.
