Cookie Policy
Scope. This Cookie Policy applies to the Matanuska‑Susitna Borough (“MSB”) websites listed in the Privacy Policy and their related subdomains.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage to run the site, secure user sessions, enable content preview for editors, and—if you opt in—analyze usage to improve services. Some cookies are set by us (first‑party), others by our service providers (third‑party).
How we classify cookies
-
Essential — strictly necessary for the website to function (security, authentication, CMS preview).
-
Functional — improve features or remember preferences.
-
Analytics — help us understand site usage and improve performance.
-
Advertising — not used by MSB.
Cookies we use (and similar storage)
Note: Names may include __Secure- or __Host- prefixes depending on security settings. The entries below reflect what you observed in your browser with “strict protection” disabled, plus essential cookies used during certain flows (e.g., editor preview). Defaults and vendor references are cited.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Category | Expires | Domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__Host-authjs.csrf-token | CSRF protection for Auth.js/NextAuth | Essential | Session | matsu.gov |
__Secure-authjs.callback-url | Stores callback URL during sign-in | Essential | Session | matsu.gov |
_ce.clock_data | Crazy Egg timing data | Analytics | ~1 day | .matsu.gov |

cebs_ | Crazy Egg split test/session persistence | Analytics | Session | .matsu.gov |
Managing your choices
-
Essential cookies are always on because the site will not work without them (e.g., authentication, editor preview).
-
We will ask for your consent before using Analytics cookies (e.g., Crazy Egg). You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner or your browser settings. (MSB does not use advertising cookies.)
Similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage)
Our mapping SDK and authentication flows may store tokens or preferences in your browser’s localStorage or sessionStorage. These are not cookies but perform similar functions and can be cleared via your browser settings.
