Cookie & Local Storage Policy
This policy explains how Pebblesvaultbundle.rest utilizes browser cookies, local storage objects, and related client-side technologies to deliver a stable, privacy-conscious digital guide.
1. Principles of Technical Storage
Pebblesvaultbundle.rest is engineered as an ultra-lean static website. We prioritize minimal data footprint, avoiding invasive cross-site advertising networks, third-party user profile aggregators, and commercial tracking beacons. When data is stored locally in your browser, it is utilized exclusively to maintain technical site functions and record your privacy preferences.
2. Comprehensive Storage Inventory
The table below itemizes every client-side storage element, its mechanical classification, duration, and purpose:
| Storage Key / Identifier | Category | Provider / Domain | Lifespan | Operational Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pebblesvaultbundle_cookie_consent |
Essential | First-Party (Local Storage) | Persistent (1 Year) | Stores your choice regarding the cookie banner (Accept, Reject, or Preferences) so the dialog remains hidden on return visits. |
pvb_sess_state |
Essential | First-Party (Session Cookie) | End of Browser Session | Maintains temporary form security tokens to prevent automated cross-site request forgery submissions through the contact desk. |
pvb_perf_metrics |
Analytics (Aggregated) | First-Party (Local Storage) | 30 Days | Records coarse page rendering milestones and cache hit rates in strictly aggregated, anonymized format without IP linkage. |
pvb_contrast_mode |
Functional | First-Party (Local Storage) | Persistent (6 Months) | Remembers user-selected typographic contrast adjustments or high-legibility styling settings when toggled. |
3. Detailed Category Descriptions
A. Strictly Essential Mechanisms
Essential mechanisms are strictly necessary for the technical operation and security of the website. Without these tokens, the site cannot retain your consent preferences or validate contact form submissions. Under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and Swiss FADP, strictly essential storage does not require prior consent.
B. Functional Storage
Functional elements enhance usability and user experience by remembering accessibility choices, such as high-contrast display modes or font scale configurations. These settings do not track your activity across third-party websites.
C. Aggregated Telemetry & Performance
Performance mechanisms collect non-identifiable metrics regarding page load speeds, resource download durations, and potential 404 broken link occurrences. This data helps our engineering team optimize our static content delivery network across European access nodes.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies via Browser Settings
You possess full control over the creation and retention of cookies on your terminal equipment. You may block, inspect, or delete cookies at any time through your browser preferences. Instructions for major browsers include:
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Select "Custom" or "Strict" to block cookies.
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → Block third-party cookies or customize site permissions.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Prevent cross-site tracking and block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please note that disabling strictly essential local storage will cause the consent banner to reappear upon every subsequent page load or reload.
5. Periodic Policy Audits
Our engineering team audits this inventory biannually to ensure continued alignment with new browser storage standards and emerging regulatory directives. Any newly implemented technical tokens will be reflected in an updated version of this document.
