VerseOne CMS Cookies

This website is bulit on the VerseOne CMS, by default VerseOne CMS uses only one essential cookie, which is called JSESSIONID. This cookie is destroyed at the end of a user's session, i.e. when a user logs out and leaves the site, or after 20 minutes of inactivity on the site.

VerseOne CMS does not track users across sites, and JSESSIONID does not enable any functionality except the three items listed above.

JSESSIONID is an essential cookie — it is absolutely required for the operation of the solution and for the protection of users' data and security. For this reason, it cannot be switched off and users cannot opt out.

VerseOne CMS also uses VOPECRA, a long-term non-tracking cookie that is only placed on the user's browser if the user accepts cookies: VOPECRA is the cookie that remembers that the user has accepted cookies.
