Cookie policy
Last updated: 8 September 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored by the browser to keep a website working, remember session state or support specific features.
2. Cookies used by Media Board
The Media Board website uses essential cookies and cookies that remember your choices. No optional analytics or marketing cookies are active at this stage.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
MediaBoard.Language |
Preference | Remembers the language you explicitly select. Without a saved choice, the site uses your browser language, with English as a fallback. This cookie works even when optional cookies are rejected. | 1 year. Choose another language to update it, or delete the cookie to restore automatic detection. |
MediaBoard.GooglePending (including any numbered chunks) |
Essential | Temporarily protects the Google identity while you complete registration or confirm an existing account. Created only when using Google sign-in. | Session cookie; its authentication ticket expires after 10 minutes. Removed on completion or cancellation. |
.AspNetCore.Correlation.* and .AspNetCore.OpenIdConnect.Nonce.* |
Essential | Protect the requested Google authentication flow against forged responses and replay. | Short-lived, up to 15 minutes; normally removed when the callback is processed. |
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* |
Essential | Protects form submissions, including Google account linking and registration, against cross-site request forgery. | Browser session. |
soundboard_access_token |
Essential | Keeps the user authenticated while browsing protected pages such as dashboard, checkout and admin areas. | Up to 14 days, or until logout. |
soundboard_refresh_token |
Essential | Allows the website to refresh the login session without asking the user to sign in again after a short-lived access token expires. | Up to 14 days, or until logout. |
soundboard_cookie_consent |
Preference | Stores the user's cookie preference, including whether optional cookies were accepted or rejected. | 180 days. |
3. Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for login, logout, account pages, dashboard access, admin areas and checkout flows. These cookies are not used for advertising.
4. Third-party services
When you choose Google sign-in, you are redirected to Google, which may use its own cookies under its Cookie policy. Simply displaying our locally hosted Google button does not load Google's sign-in scripts or send an authentication request to Google.
When users continue to PayPal or another payment provider, that provider may set its own cookies according to its own cookie policy.
5. Managing cookies
Users can delete or block cookies from browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, checkout and account management from working correctly.
6. Future analytics or marketing cookies
If analytics or marketing cookies are introduced later, the policy and consent experience should be updated before those cookies are enabled.
