Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser when you visit a website. Some cookies are necessary for a website to operate securely, while others are optional and may be used only with your permission.
How MORS Scholarly uses cookies
MORS Scholarly uses essential cookies for authentication, session continuity, form protection and manuscript workflows. Optional categories are disabled until you make a choice through our cookie preferences interface.
| Cookie / category | Purpose | Type | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sessionid | Maintains an authenticated Django session and secure account navigation. | Essential | Session / configured session period |
| csrftoken | Protects forms and account actions against cross-site request forgery. | Essential | Up to the configured Django CSRF lifetime |
| mors_cookie_preferences | Stores your cookie choices so that we do not ask again on every visit. | Essential preference | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics category | May be used for privacy-conscious aggregate service measurement when such tools are enabled and you consent. | Optional | Depends on the enabled provider |
| External media category | May allow third-party media content to load when you choose to permit it. | Optional | Depends on the media provider |
Essential cookies
These cannot be disabled through the cookie preference panel because the website may not function securely without them. They support login sessions, security controls and core publishing workflows.
Optional cookies
Optional analytics and external-media categories remain off unless you accept them. MORS Scholarly does not require optional cookies for basic account access or manuscript submission.
Changing your choice
You can reopen Cookie preferences from the floating button displayed on the website after you have made an initial choice. You can then accept or reject optional categories at any time.
Updates to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when the platform introduces or changes services that use browser storage or third-party technologies. Material changes should be reflected in this page and, where appropriate, renewed consent will be requested.
