This Cookie Policy explains how CNE Software Solutions uses cookies and similar technologies when you use the CNE Contract Portal Platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. The Platform also uses local storage to keep you signed in and remember your preferences while offline.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: required for the Platform to function, including keeping you signed in and maintaining security. These cannot be disabled.
• Preference cookies: remember your settings, such as theme (light or dark mode) and layout choices.
• Analytics cookies: where enabled, help us understand how the Platform is used so we can improve it. These are set only with your consent.

3. Specific Cookies

• Session token (local storage): keeps you signed in between page loads and during offline use.
• Theme preference (local storage): remembers your light/dark mode choice.
• Offline data (local storage / cache): stores a copy of your records so you can keep working without a connection; this is cleared when you sign out or the data is synced.
• Analytics (if enabled): collect anonymised usage statistics.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We use third-party services such as map providers (for What3Words look-ups) and document storage providers. These providers may set their own cookies when you use features that depend on them. We do not control these cookies; their use is governed by the relevant provider's own policy.

5. Managing Cookies

Essential cookies and local storage are required for the Platform to work and cannot be switched off. You can manage or delete preference and analytics cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you before they are stored. Note that disabling essential storage will prevent you from signing in.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when it was last revised.
