Cookie Policy & Local Storage Transparency

This Cookie Policy explains how Reelztemposcot Acoustics Ltd uses web cookies, browser storage keys, and local caching. We prioritize data minimization and offer full browser-level control.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files downloaded to your device when visiting websites. They allow servers to recognize returning browsers, maintain user session preferences, and understand navigation pathways. LocalStorage is an equivalent web technology that stores data within your browser without sending it over the network during each HTTP request.

2. Cookie Audit Inventory

The table below lists every cookie and local storage key deployed on reelztemposcot.beauty:

Key / Cookie Identifier Category Retention Duration Technical Purpose
reelztemposcot_cookie_consent Strictly Essential Persistent (LocalStorage / 365 days) Stores your cookie consent state (‘accept’, ‘reject’, ‘preferences’) so the banner does not reappear on page reloads.
__session_sec_token Strictly Essential Browser Session Prevents Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) on contact form submissions. Purged when the browser is closed.
_rt_agg_metrics Analytics / Performance 30 Days Aggregates anonymous page request volume and time-on-page metrics. IP addresses are completely anonymized before calculation.
ui_theme_prefs Functional 180 Days Retains user UI preferences, including contrast modes and accessibility settings across visits.

3. Classification of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Essential Cookies: Indispensable for basic site operation, server load balancing, form validation, and security protection. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly essential cookies do not require prior consent.
  • Analytics & Performance Telemetry: Help us identify broken links, measure reading completion on technical guides, and improve responsive layout performance. These are only activated if you click “Accept All” on our banner.
  • Functional Storage: Remembers your accessibility selections and form field states across navigation steps to avoid data loss.

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies in Your Browser

You can adjust, block, or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect form submission reliability, but our static reading guides will remain accessible:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Cookies.
  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.

5. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our website respects automated browser privacy signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) header flags. When your browser transmits these headers, analytical tracking scripts are automatically disabled without requiring manual banner interaction.

6. Updates to This Policy

We review this inventory periodically to maintain alignment with UK GDPR guidance issued by the Information Commissioner's Office. Updates will be reflected in the audit table above.
