1. Cookies and similar storage
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website can ask your browser to retain and, depending on their configuration, send with later requests. LocalStorage is a separate browser feature that keeps values for a particular website origin. Unlike cookies, localStorage values are not automatically attached to ordinary web requests. Privacy rules may apply to both technologies.
The supplied website does not create HTTP cookies. It uses localStorage only to remember the selection you make in the privacy banner or preferences dialog. The record contains category choices, a version and a timestamp, not your name, email address or a unique advertising identifier. Hosting infrastructure can have its own behaviour, so a live operator must inspect its deployment and update this inventory if necessary.
2. Storage inventory
The table distinguishes an implemented essential preference from optional categories that are not present. Accepting all categories records your selection but does not download analytics software, introduce advertising or create additional functional storage.
| Category | Name and type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | sbp-cookie-preferences-v1First-party localStorage | Remembers your privacy choices so the banner does not return on each page. | Valid for six months; checked and replaced or removed on the next visit after expiry. |
| Analytics | None installed | No audience measurement, session recording or analytics cookies. | Not applicable |
| Functional | None installed | No optional embedded media, saved display settings or third-party map cookies. | Not applicable |
3. What the banner controls
“Accept All” records approval for the displayed optional categories. “Reject Non-Essential” records both optional categories as off. “Preferences” lets you set them individually. Essential preference storage remains available because it is what remembers the instruction you give. You can read every guide regardless of your optional selections.
There are currently no optional services to activate. If materially different tools or purposes are introduced, the operator must update the notice and request consent where required before loading them. An old preference is not a blanket permission for undisclosed processing. The site does not sell or share information through advertising trackers, and Global Privacy Control does not need to disable any such integration in this build.
4. Change or withdraw your choice
Use the “Cookie preferences” button in any footer to reopen the settings. Turn off optional categories and save, or choose “Reject Non-Essential” when the banner is visible. Changing the setting updates the record on the current browser and website origin. It does not change settings on another device, another browser or a different version of the domain.
If localStorage is blocked, the page can respect the selection for the current view but cannot remember it reliably after navigation or reload. A message explains that limitation. Deleting site data removes the record and makes the banner appear again. Private browsing may also discard the record when the private session closes.
5. Browser opt-out instructions
In Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and security, and use Site settings or the site-data controls to find this domain and delete its stored data. In Firefox, open Settings, Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data and Manage Data. In Safari on a Mac, open Settings, Privacy, then Manage Website Data. In Edge, open Settings and search for “site data” to locate the per-site storage controls. Labels may change between browser versions.
Selecting only a history-clearing option may leave localStorage intact. Choose cookies and other site data when you want to remove this preference. Blocking all storage can affect unrelated websites, so per-site controls are often more precise. For wider information handling and privacy requests, read the privacy policy.
