LEGAL / STORAGE
Cookie policy
Effective date: 1 January 2026. This site uses a small local-storage preference so the cookie notice does not reappear after a choice. No analytics or advertising technology is implemented.
Categories used
| Category | Purpose | Example | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core operation | Cookie preference | Persistent until cleared |
| Analytics | Usage measurement | Not implemented | Not applicable |
| Functional | Remember preferences | Not implemented beyond cookie choice | Not applicable |
How the preference works
When you select Accept All, Reject Non-Essential or Preferences, the site stores a value named maritimeCookieChoice in your browser’s local storage. The banner then remains hidden during later page views on that browser. Preferences currently records the same essential-only state because there are no optional cookies to enable.
Managing browser storage
You can clear local storage through your browser’s privacy or site-data settings. In most browsers, open settings, search for site data or cookies, locate choicessparkparcl.makeup and remove its stored data. You can also use a private window, although behaviour varies by browser. Clearing storage may make the banner appear again. Blocking all storage may affect preference persistence but does not add tracking.
Third parties
The static page may request externally hosted photographic resources. Those requests can expose technical information to the image host under its own terms. No analytics identifier, advertising cookie or social tracking pixel is installed by this website. If the technical implementation changes, this policy should be reviewed and updated.
