1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small data files that websites can ask a browser to store and send back with later requests. Local storage is a separate browser feature that lets a website save a value on the device for later pages in the same site. This website uses local storage to remember the choice you make in its cookie preference interface. The preference record is kept in your browser and is not sent to the site server by the page code.
2. Essential browser functionality
The site is designed to work as an informational website without analytics, advertising, accounts or embedded third-party widgets. The local preference value is used so that the cookie notice does not need to appear again after you have made a choice. If you clear site data, use a different browser or browse in a separate profile, the site may show the notice again. Necessary browser functions such as following links and loading page files do not depend on an optional preference.
3. Storage currently implemented
| Name | Type | Purpose | Persistence |
|---|---|---|---|
guidetaltallynestl-cookie-preferences | Local storage | Remembers the visitor’s chosen banner status and optional category selections. | Until cleared by the visitor or browser. |
No other cookies or local-storage keys are set by the site’s JavaScript. The local value records preference choices only. It does not record pages visited, create an advertising profile or provide audience measurement.
4. Preference categories
Essential: the saved preference choice that keeps the notice dismissed. It is always active because it provides the preference function requested by the interface. Functional: an optional category shown in the panel for convenient preference management. The current website does not load any additional functional service through this category. Analytics: an optional category displayed for clarity, but no analytics service is installed. Advertising: the website does not use advertising cookies or advertising trackers, and does not include an advertising preference switch because no such service is present.
Selecting “Accept All” saves the optional toggles as enabled in the browser preference record, but does not cause an analytics or functional provider to load. “Reject Non-Essential” saves both optional categories as off. “Preferences” allows you to choose separately and save those settings. No optional tracker is activated by any selection in the current implementation.
5. Changing or removing your choice
Use the “Cookie Preferences” control in the footer to reopen the settings panel at any time. Choose the categories you want and select “Save Preferences.” Select “Cancel” or the close control to leave the saved choice unchanged. You can also clear site storage through your browser’s privacy or site-settings controls; the precise labels differ by browser and version. Removing the stored value means the notice may appear on a later visit.
Most browsers offer options to block or delete cookies and local website data. Look in settings under privacy, security, site data or browsing data. You can usually remove data for this domain without clearing all browsing history. Private or incognito sessions may discard storage when the session ends. Browser controls can affect how the website behaves, including whether it remembers your preference.
6. Third parties and external images
The site does not embed third-party maps, video players, social-media widgets or analytics tools. Editorial images are linked from an external image host. When your browser requests an image, that provider may receive technical information such as an IP address and browser details and may apply its own policies. We do not control its storage practices. Consult the image provider’s own privacy and cookie information for details. If you block external requests, some images may not display; the site’s text and internal navigation remain available.
7. Contact and policy updates
If the technologies used by this website change, we will update this policy to describe the new storage and its purpose before relying on optional technologies that require consent. This page may also change to reflect legal or technical developments. Questions about browser preferences can be sent to [email protected]. For more detail about information handling generally, see our Privacy Policy.
Browser storage is controlled by your device and browser. We cannot delete local data from a device remotely, but the footer preference control allows you to update the choice recorded by the website. If the panel does not appear to reflect a change, refresh the page or check that browser storage is enabled for this site.
