Cookie Policy

Version 1.1 · Effective 17 August 2026

This policy explains what this website stores on your device and why. It is short, because we store very little.

1. What we set today

Every cookie we set is strictly necessary — it is needed for the site to work or to keep it secure. None of them track you, and none are used for advertising.

NamePurposeCategoryExpires
PHPSESSID Keeps your session and protects our forms against cross-site request forgery. Set when you use the contact form or sign in. Strictly necessary When you close your browser
rsph_consent Remembers the cookie choices you made, so we do not ask again on every page. Strictly necessary 12 months
mercureAuthorization Authorises the live updates on signed-in screens and the vehicle tracking page, so they refresh without you reloading. Strictly necessary When you close your browser

2. Local storage

We store one item in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie:

  • rsph-theme — whether you chose the light or dark appearance.

The rules that cover cookies apply to this kind of storage too. We set it only because you asked us to by choosing an appearance, and it never leaves your browser.

3. What we do not do

We think it is worth being specific, because "we value your privacy" banners rarely are:

  • no advertising or marketing cookies;
  • no third-party analytics — no Google Analytics or equivalent;
  • no cross-site or cross-device tracking, and no advertising profiles;
  • no third-party fonts or content delivery networks. Everything this page loads is served from our own domain, so no third party sees your visit.

This is why the Analytics and Marketing categories in our preference centre are currently empty. They exist so that if we ever do add something in those categories, it cannot be set unless you have allowed it first. Today there is nothing behind them.

4. Your choices

You can open the preference centre at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. You can change or withdraw your choices there whenever you like — withdrawing is exactly as easy as agreeing.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off. Without them the site cannot keep you signed in, cannot protect its forms from abuse, and cannot remember that you asked it not to set anything else.

You can also control cookies in your browser settings, including deleting existing ones. If you delete rsph_consent, we will ask for your preferences again, because we no longer have any record of them.

5. If this changes

If we add a cookie in a category you have declined, it will not be set unless and until you allow that category. If we add anything at all, we will list it in the table above and update the version shown at the top of this page.

6. More information

Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with personal data more broadly, and how to contact us about it.

7. Language

This policy is published in more than one language. If a translation differs from the English version, the English version prevails.
