The cookie we set
The cookie is named ascenraspace. It stores a random session id. The session holds your sign-in, a security token for forms, and a short on-page notice after you submit something.
The cookie is HttpOnly so page scripts cannot read it. On the live HTTPS site it is marked Secure. It uses SameSite=Lax. It lasts up to 14 days of continued use and is renewed when you sign in.
Why it is there
Without this cookie, AscenraSpace cannot keep you signed in or check that a form was submitted by you. Signed-out visitors may also receive it when a page includes a form, so the form can be checked.
We do not use this cookie to follow you across other websites, and we do not sell it.
Your choice
You can delete the cookie in your browser. That signs you out. If your browser blocks all cookies, registration and sign-in will not complete.
Discussion pages include labelled links to other Ascenra sites, such as Ascenra Jobs, Ascenra Offers, Ascenra Radio, AscenraSocial, and BuyMyWishes. Each one is marked Ad. Those links do not set an extra cookie and they are not served by an outside advertising network.
There is no advertising opt-in because there is no advertising cookie.
