What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and, in some cases, understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
Autonomous Sys uses essential cookies (or equivalent local storage) to remember your cookie consent choice and keep basic site features working. We may use analytics cookies only after you Accept on the consent banner. Rejecting analytics does not block browsing, enquiries, or programme information.
Consent is stored under the key autonomous_sys_cookie_consent in localStorage.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| autonomous_sys_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject for the cookie banner | Until cleared by you (localStorage) | Autonomous Sys |
| _asa_session | Essential load-balancer or host session continuity when provided by hosting | Session | Hosting provider |
| _asa_analytics | Optional aggregate page-view counts (set only after Accept) | Up to 12 months | Autonomous Sys / analytics processor |
Managing or disabling cookies
Use Accept or Reject on our banner at any time by clearing site data for autonomous-sys.digital and reloading the page. You can also block cookies in your browser settings. Essential consent storage may be unavailable if localStorage is disabled; the banner may reappear each visit.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may result in network requests to Google’s servers. We do not embed third-party advertising cookies. If a future analytics processor sets its own cookies after you Accept, those will be listed in an updated table on this page.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting optional analytics does not affect programme pages, forms, or contact details. Blocking all cookies or storage may cause the consent banner to reappear and may affect some host session features.
