Cookie & Local Storage Policy
1. Principles of Browser Storage
This Cookie Policy explains how Quirkpickindx Maritime & Coastal Media Ltd. uses cookies, web beacons, and browser local storage technologies when you visit quirkpickindx.bond.
A cookie is a small text file placed upon your device by a web server. Local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) permits web applications to persist non-identifying operational preferences directly within your browser client. We strictly separate technically essential storage from voluntary telemetry, providing you with autonomous control over non-essential trackers.
2. Comprehensive Storage Inventory
The table below sets forth the complete classification of cookies and client storage entities used across our static infrastructure:
| Identifier | Category | Purpose & Data Held | Lifespan | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
quirk_cookie_consent |
Essential | Stores your cookie banner decision (accept, reject, or preferences) to avoid recurring popups. | 12 Months | First-Party (LocalStorage) |
quirk_map_last_viewed |
Functional | Maintains the most recently inspected fjord or bay beacon on the home page interactive chart. | Session | First-Party (LocalStorage) |
_pk_stat_ref |
Analytical | Aggregates anonymous page view durations and referral sources with masked client IP addresses. | 90 Days | First-Party (Optional) |
theme_high_contrast |
Accessibility | Remembers your preference for enhanced text contrast outlines across page transitions. | 12 Months | First-Party (LocalStorage) |
3. Managing Cookie Choices on Quirkpickindx
You are presented with our cookie banner upon your first arrival on our domain. You can record one of three clear decisions:
- Accept All: Enables both essential state storage and voluntary analytical metric cookies.
- Reject Non-Essential: Blocks all non-essential storage. Only
quirk_cookie_consentis retained so our system remembers your refusal. - Preferences: Opens fine-grained toggle options to manage each functional category individually.
You may reset your saved preference at any time by clearing your browser cache and local storage, or by clicking the button below:
