Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites and applications work efficiently and to provide information to the site owner.
The KTMS platform and website use a minimal number of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party marketing cookies of any kind.
We use cookies in the following limited ways:
The KTMS platform does not use cookies to keep you signed in. Instead it stores an authentication token in your browser's local storage, which is a similar technology and is covered by this policy:
| Item | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication token (browser local storage) | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in so you do not have to re-authenticate on every page | Until you sign out, or the token expires (8 hours) |
| Session record (server-side) | Strictly necessary | Records your active sign-in, including IP address and device type, so account access can be monitored and sessions ended where necessary | Until the session ends or expires |
The cookies and equivalent local storage used by KTMS are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They do not track your browsing activity across other websites and do not collect personal data beyond what is required for your session.
Because these are essential to the operation of the platform, they cannot be disabled without preventing the platform from working. By using the KTMS platform you consent to their use.
We do not use any of the following:
