How do I manage cookie preferences on ShiftTracker?
We set no optional cookies until you switch them on, so there is no consent banner to dismiss. Choose your preferences on the cookie settings page, linked from the footer of every page, at any time. Browser-level controls also work — clear cookies or use built-in blocking features.
Switch optional cookies on or off at /cookie-settings. They stay off until you switch them on.
"Cookie settings" is in the footer of every page, so you can change your mind at any time.
Use your browser's privacy settings to block or delete cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies may break authentication.
All cookies are automatically deleted when you close the private browsing window.
What is the legal basis for cookies?
Essential cookies are used where necessary for platform operation and security. Optional analytics cookies are processed based on consent where required by applicable law.
