What cookies and similar technologies do
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies include browser storage and other methods of storing or reading information on your device. They may be set by this website or another provider, and may last for a browsing session or a specified period.
Technologies used during the Call for Papers phase
The website uses only technologies that are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request. These support the submission session, protect forms and authorised access, and remember that you have read the cookie notice. Selecting “Got it” only acknowledges the notice; it does not record consent for optional cookies. No cookies for audience measurement, advertising, behavioural tracking or social media are activated during this phase.
The following table identifies the technologies used, their providers, purposes and storage periods.
| Technology and provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID — first-party session cookie, esil2027.com | Maintain sessions needed for submission, review and authorised access. | Browsing session; no persistent expiry is set. |
| esil2027.cookieNotice — first-party localStorage, esil2027.com | Remember that you selected “Got it”. This acknowledges the notice and does not record consent for optional cookies. | Acknowledgement valid for six months; the stored entry remains until replaced or cleared. |
Consent and optional technologies
Prior consent is required before storing or accessing information on your device, except where the technology is used solely to transmit a communication or is strictly necessary to provide a service you expressly request.
If optional technologies are introduced, we will update this policy and request consent before activation. You will be able to accept, reject or choose optional purposes individually. They will remain off until you choose them. Refusing optional use will not prevent submission.

External websites have their own policies. Any technologies activated by content embedded on this website will be listed in the inventory above and handled under the applicable consent rules.
Our Privacy Policy at https://esil2027.com/privacy-policy/ explains how personal data connected with use of this website is processed, including the responsible organisation, recipients, retention, your rights and how to exercise them.
