Cookie Policy

Information about cookies and similar storage technologies on the ITMN website.

This policy applies to the International Tree Mortality Network website and was last reviewed on 29 July 2026.

Cookies used by this website

The website is built as a static site. Its own code does not set analytics, advertising, personalisation or other non-essential cookies. It does not use a consent-management plugin because there are no optional cookies for visitors to accept or reject.

The GitLab Pages hosting or access-control infrastructure may set cookies that are strictly necessary to provide security, authentication or other functionality explicitly requested by the visitor. These operational cookies cannot be used by ITMN for advertising or audience profiling.

External services

Seminar recordings, social-media profiles and other third-party resources are linked or shown behind a click-to-load placeholder. Merely viewing an ITMN page therefore does not load those services. If you follow an external link or choose to load the database portal, the destination service may set cookies under its own policy.

The contact and membership forms only prepare an email in your local email application. They do not set cookies or send form data to the website.

Browser controls

You can inspect, block and delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking cookies required for authentication or security may prevent protected hosting features from working, but it does not affect ordinary public pages generated by the site.

Questions and updates

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page. The policy will be updated if cookies or similar technologies are added in the future.
