Cookie notice
Tokisphere sets essential cookies and browser storage so the product stays secure and usable. Analytics cookies are optional and load only after you accept them.

Analytics cookies are never set before a choice. Reject or withdraw Analytics to clear _ga, _gid, _gat, and _ga_*.
Vote integrity uses first-party session storage, not a device cookie. Session auth uses __session (and legacy tokisphere_session if still present). Theme preference is essential.
Managing preferences
Use Cookie Preferences to accept, reject, or change Analytics. A Global Privacy Control signal is treated as an automatic analytics opt-out. If this cookie policy version changes, we ask again.
