Cookie & Ephemeral Spatial Storage Policy

Effective Date: September 14, 2026•Document Reference: BST-WEB-COOK-2026-V1•NDPC REGISTRATION COMPLIANT

1. Zero Third-Party Advertising Policy

Bastion does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising cookies, or data-broker trackers. Because we handle high-stakes political intelligence, no external marketing script is ever loaded into your situation room or mobile reporting terminal.

2. Essential Technical Cookies & Storage Technologies

Session Authentication (Sanctum)

Stores cryptographically signed bearer tokens in secure HTTP-only headers to verify your role access (T1 to T10).

IndexedDB Offline Queue (Field PWA)

Buffers Form EC8A photographs and vote counts locally on the agent's smartphone if 3G/4G connectivity collapses in rural polling units.

LocalStorage (Branding & State)

Caches active tenant UUID, custom party colors, and UI layout preferences so pages load instantly under low bandwidth.

3. How to Clear Local Data

Users and field officers can immediately purge all offline cached returns, authentication tokens, and cached cartography by executing a hard reset in their browser settings or using the "Terminus Zeroize" button within their Command Profile.
