Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 October 2026
This notice describes how topdetectives.gr uses cookies and similar technologies that store or access information on your device.
First-party cookies and browser storage
Signing in uses the essential first-party cookie payload-token to identify your authenticated session. It is HttpOnly, uses SameSite=Lax and has a two-hour validity per issuance; an authenticated session may be refreshed. Signing out clears the cookie. Public contact and callback forms do not store their contents in localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB. In administration, payload-pending-success-toast temporarily stores save feedback in sessionStorage and is removed after display. The localStorage key payload:auth-session:tab-sync briefly coordinates session changes between tabs and is then removed. If an editor explicitly uses a copy action, _payloadClipboard stores the copied editing content until it is replaced or browser site data is cleared. These functions support the requested account and editing operations, not advertising or visitor analytics.
No analytics tags, advertising pixels or tracking identifiers are installed in the application. Language selection is determined by the page URL and is not stored in a cookie.
Third-party storage
Provider: YouTube (Google). Service: embedded video playback through www.youtube-nocookie.com. The external player is not requested when a page opens. It loads only after you select “Load YouTube video”.
The player uses privacy-enhanced mode. This setting limits personalization but does not guarantee that playback is free of cookies or other browser storage. Any storage introduced by the player is controlled by Google; its names, purposes and retention periods are described in the provider’s documentation.
Google cookie and storage documentation
Consent and storage controls
No optional cookies or tracking scripts are activated on initial page load. A site-wide cookie-consent banner is therefore not displayed. Consent for the external player is requested at the point of activation, before a connection to Google is made. Leaving the player unloaded declines that connection.
Selecting “Stop and unload video” removes the player and ends its connection. The activation choice is not saved for later page loads. Unloading does not delete storage already placed by Google or information already transmitted. Existing cookies and site data can be deleted or blocked through your browser’s privacy settings.
