2. What cookies and browser storage are

Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website. Websites may also use related browser technologies such as local storage or session storage. These technologies can remember a preference, maintain a security state, support core functionality or provide usage information. In this policy, “storage” refers to cookies and comparable browser storage unless a distinction is necessary.

3. Storage used by this website

This website is designed to operate with minimal storage. Essential functionality does not depend on advertising cookies. The cookie-preference banner records your choice in local storage under the key clearvalley-cookie-choice. This prevents the banner from appearing on every page after you have made a selection.

Essential storage

Essential storage supports functions that are reasonably necessary to provide the website or remember a privacy choice requested by you. It cannot be disabled through the site’s preference panel because the panel itself needs to remember the selection. You can remove it using browser controls.

Preference storage

Preference storage may remember an optional setting you actively select. It is not activated before your choice. The current website does not use preference storage to build advertising profiles or track activity across unrelated websites.

Analytics storage

No non-essential analytics cookies are activated by default. If analytics are introduced in the future, this policy and the consent controls will be updated before non-essential analytics are enabled for visitors who have not consented.

Advertising and social-media tracking

The current website does not deploy advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels or embedded social-media tracking widgets.

4. Legal basis

Storage that is strictly necessary for a service requested by the user may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law. Non-essential storage is used only after consent. Where processing of personal information occurs, further details about lawful bases and rights are provided in the Privacy Policy.

5. Your choices

The cookie banner provides three controls:

• Accept All: permits the optional preference setting selected in the panel.
• Reject Non-Essential: stores only the choice needed to remember that non-essential storage was rejected.
• Manage Preferences: opens the available category control before you make a decision.

You can change your decision by deleting the site’s stored data in your browser and reloading the page. The banner will then appear again.

6. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to inspect, block or delete cookies and local storage. Blocking all storage may cause preference banners or other requested settings to reappear. Browser controls vary by product and version, so consult the help information supplied by your browser provider.

7. Storage duration

The preference choice remains in local storage until you remove site data, use a private browsing session that clears storage, or the website changes the storage key. We do not use the choice to identify you by name.

8. Third-party services

The front end of this website uses local images, styles, scripts, icons and fonts and does not load third-party advertising or analytics resources. Your internet-service provider and hosting provider may still process technical connection information needed to deliver and secure the website; that processing is addressed in the Privacy Policy.

9. Updates

We may update this policy if browser storage practices or website functionality change. A revised date will appear at the top of the page. Where a change requires a new consent choice, the preference banner may be shown again.
