The site app.expatriation.io does not place any session or authentication cookies, as payment is handled by redirection to Stripe. The only strictly necessary cookies are those related to memorizing the choice expressed via the consent banner.

3. Consent management
On your first visit to app.expatriation.io, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline the placement of non-strictly necessary cookies. Three options are offered: accept all, decline all, or customize your choices by purpose.
Your choice is memorized for 12 months. You can modify your preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage cookies" link present in the site footer.
