Hosting and security

The website runs on an OVH server behind Cloudflare. Technically necessary connection data, including IP addresses and requested resources, is processed to deliver and protect the website. Cloudflare Turnstile checks registration, login and code requests to prevent automated abuse.

Accounts and verification

We store your email address, a salted password hash, account creation time, language and the accepted version of the terms. Unconfirmed registration data and hashed verification codes expire after 10 minutes and are removed within another minute. Codes are single-use, with a limited number of attempts.

Cookies and sessions

The tabgecko_language cookie saves your chosen language for one year. The tabgecko_theme cookie saves your light or dark theme choice for one year and also applies to the documentation subdomain. The secure, HTTP-only session cookie signs you in. Sessions expire after 12 hours or, with Remember me, after 30 days. Signing out invalidates the current session. Resetting a password invalidates all sessions. No marketing or analytics cookies are used by this website. Cloudflare may use necessary security mechanisms.

Contact form

Name, email address, subject and message are sent to [email protected] to process your enquiry. Do not include passwords or other credentials. Contact messages are retained for handling the enquiry and any applicable retention obligations.

Abuse prevention

The contact form allows one message per IP address every 30 minutes. It stores an HMAC-derived IP key for at most 65 minutes. Account request limits use pseudonymised keys and expire within 61 minutes. Passwords and verification codes are never stored as plain text.

Your data

Account data is retained while your account remains active. Contact [email protected] to request access, correction, deletion or restriction, or to object to processing where applicable. You may complain to a competent data protection authority.
