Cookie Policy
Effective date: March 9, 2026
This policy explains how TechForest LLC uses cookies across our websites and software products.
This Website (techforest.org)
The TechForest.org marketing site is a static, server-rendered website. We do not set any cookies on this site.
Our Products (e.g., RetireQuest)
TechForest products that require user accounts use only essential cookies. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies in any of our products.

Technical Details
The authentication cookie is set with the following security attributes:
- HttpOnly: Not accessible to JavaScript, protecting against XSS attacks.
- Secure: Only transmitted over HTTPS.
- SameSite=Strict: Not sent with cross-site requests, protecting against CSRF.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not set or permit third-party cookies for advertising or tracking purposes. Vercel (our hosting provider) may set infrastructure-level cookies for security purposes; these are outside our direct control.
Your Choices
Because we only use an essential authentication cookie, there is no opt-out that would still allow you to use our products while logged in. You can log out to clear the authentication cookie. You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, but doing so will prevent login from working.
This website (techforest.org) sets no cookies, so no action is required here.
