1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. They remember information such as your cookie choices or your sign-in session. Some are set by us ("first-party"), others by a provider we use ("third-party").
2. Website cookies (www.blobexplorer.com)

The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, loaded only on the contact page, to block spam. It is a security measure and is not used for advertising or audience measurement.
3. Application cookies
The Blob Web Explorer application (app.blobexplorer.com and enterprise deployments) uses only strictly necessary cookies for sign-in, session security, and protection against forged requests — for example .AspNetCore.Cookies, .AspNetCore.OpenIdConnect.*, and .AspNetCore.Antiforgery.*. Your identity provider (Microsoft Entra ID or Azure AD B2C) also sets its own sign-in cookies.
These cookies cannot be disabled without preventing sign-in.
4. Your choices
- Change your choice at any time with the Manage cookie preferences button on this page. Withdrawing consent removes analytics cookies set by this website.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website or the application from working.
