These parameters control properties of the sessions of authenticated (logged-in) users.
- Time Zone controls the time zone with respect to which times for this instance of Yioop are calculated. This will affect the display of dates and times throughout the Yioop instance.
- Token Name controls the name of the cross-site request forgery prevention token that appears in urls on this site when a user is logged-in.
- Session Name is the name of the HTTP cookie used to identify the current session.
- Autologout is how long an inactive session is maintained before a user is automatically logged out. It does not remove the user's cookie from their browser, it just logs them out of the current session.
- Cookie Consent Expires controls how long from when a user clicks their consent to allow cookies, until the next time a request for consent is required. Cookie consent is often one piece of complying with privacy legislation such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which requires allowing user's to opt out the of selling their information and the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires user's to give their consent to the use of cookies. The Yioop system does not set cookies unless consent has been granted, but if you are using Yioop together with an external ad server, it migt be possible for the latter to set cookies. Also, Yioop support's MathJax (for math formatting on Wiki pages) via a CDN by default which might set a cookie. You can always install MathJax on your site and use this directly to avoid this potentiality.
