Essential service technology
The current Jernie website code contains no optional advertising pixels or analytics trackers. Walkthrough videos are served directly as files. No optional tracking is enabled by this policy. Necessary sign-in and security technology operates when you request the relevant service.
If optional tracking is introduced, it must remain off until any required consent is obtained, with an equally accessible refusal and withdrawal route. Accepting subscription terms is not cookie consent.
Current cookie inventory
The following inventory describes application code reviewed on 19 October 2026. Hosting and payment providers may also set necessary security cookies on their own domains; their notices apply when you use those services.
- assessiq_access: HttpOnly sign-in credential; expires with the authentication provider’s access session, normally about one hour.
- assessiq_refresh: HttpOnly sign-in renewal; set for up to 30 days, subject to earlier provider/session revocation.
- assessiq_session_scope: detects account/session switches and helps prevent one person’s drafts appearing in another session; up to 30 days. This marker alone grants no access.
- assessiq_member: HttpOnly selection of the signed-in member’s authorised workspace; up to 30 days. It does not create permissions.
- The four AssessIQ cookies may carry _learner, _assessor or _centre suffixes to keep role sign-ins separate on a shared device.
- iq_parent_session: HttpOnly, private owner session, up to 24 hours. iq_parent_private_link: a protected private-link bootstrap, up to 10 minutes. These apply only to the separate owner dashboard.
Browser storage and shared devices
Requested interface state, session markers, course selections and draft state can use localStorage or sessionStorage. Preview/demo workflows may store sample records or drafts locally. Session storage normally ends with its browser-tab session; local storage remains until the application or browser clears it. It is not a secure archive.
On shared devices, use individual accounts, sign out, and clear site data when necessary. Avoid putting real personal evidence into demo/preview data. Clearing storage can remove drafts and preferences; download work you need first.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies and site data using your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent sign-in, payments or workspace switching. Provider checkout pages and their cookies are separate from the Jernie page. For questions contact jernieiq@hotmail.com.
