1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us (first-party), while others are set by services we integrate with (third-party).
2. How testa.run uses cookies
testa.run is an automated QA and security testing platform. When you use the service, cookies support authentication, protect your session from cross-site attacks, remember your consent preferences, and (with your permission) help us understand how the product is used so we can improve it.
3. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for core platform functionality. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |

| session_token | Authenticates your logged-in session | Session / 30 days | First-party |
| csrf_token | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | First-party |
| tr_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 180 days | First-party |
Analytics (optional)
These cookies help us measure product usage, identify performance bottlenecks, and improve the user experience. They are only set after you give consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years | Google Analytics |

4. Legal basis
Strictly necessary cookies are set based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional service. Analytics and marketing cookies are set only after you provide affirmative consent through the cookie banner. We do not use cookie walls — declining optional cookies does not restrict access to the platform.
5. Third-party cookies
When analytics or marketing cookies are enabled, third-party providers (Google, Meta) may set cookies on your device. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We configure these services to anonymize IP addresses where supported and limit data sharing.
6. Managing and withdrawing consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Use our Cookie Preferences page to update your choices
- Clear cookies through your browser settings (this will also remove your consent record, causing the banner to reappear)
- Use browser extensions that block third-party cookies or tracking scripts
Withdrawing consent for optional cookies does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
7. Consent versioning
If we materially change our cookie practices, we increment the consent version. This automatically re-prompts all visitors to review and accept the updated policy before optional cookies are set again.
8. Data retention
Cookies persist for the durations listed in the tables above. Analytics data aggregated from cookies is retained for up to 26 months in Google Analytics before automatic deletion. We do not store raw cookie values on our servers beyond what is needed for session management.
9. Updates to this policy
We update this Cookie Policy when our cookie usage changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes trigger a new consent prompt.
