1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage Tokens?
Cookies are small text fragments sent to your web browser by a web server and stored directly on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Local storage represents a similar browser-managed storage space used to retain state between visits (such as remembering whether you have closed an informational banner).
These mechanisms make website interactions faster, help verify authenticated sessions, and ensure user interface preferences persist as you move between different pages on our domain.
2. How We Apply Storage Technologies
At pureripplepckbcn.hair, we keep digital tracking to a strict operational minimum. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising networks or commercial pixel trackers that follow you across unrelated web properties.
3. Summary of Cookies and Local Tokens
| Category | Technical Key | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | vending_cookie_consent | Records your interaction with our bottom consent banner to prevent recurring banner interruptions. | Persistent (up to 12 months in localStorage) |
| Essential | session_sec_token | Provides basic anti-CSRF request validation to safeguard contact form submissions from automated abuse. | Active browser session |
| Functional | view_pref_mode | Remembers user interface accessibility preferences, such as reduced motion or high-contrast styles. | Persistent (up to 6 months) |
| Analytics (Optional) | _va_telemetry_id | Collects aggregate, non-personally identifiable visit counts to help our technical team identify broken links and optimize layout structures. | Up to 90 days |
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies in Your Browser
Every modern desktop and mobile browser allows you to review, inspect, and delete stored cookies, or configure strict rules that refuse cookies entirely. Here is how you can access these controls in common platforms:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies to configure blocking rules or delete specific stored domains.
- Mozilla Firefox: Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection and select either Standard or Strict protections.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences → Privacy and ensure "Prevent cross-site tracking" and "Block all cookies" settings match your comfort level.
- Microsoft Edge: Open Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
5. What Happens If You Reject Cookies?
Because our web platform relies solely on clean, lightweight static code, refusing non-essential cookies will not impair your ability to read our operational guides, view site blueprints, or submit inquiries through our contact desk. The only difference is that your consent prompt may reappear on subsequent visits because your browser won't retain the memory flag.
6. Re-evaluating Your Preferences
You can reset your consent selection at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for pureripplepckbcn.hair, which immediately prompts the banner to reappear on your next page refresh.
If you have questions regarding our technical storage policies, please contact our data team at [email protected].
