Cookie & Local Storage Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. A transparent disclosure of how this website uses local browser storage and strictly necessary session tokens.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you load a web page. Similar web storage technologies, such as HTML5 `localStorage`, allow web applications to remember user preferences directly on your local device without continuously transmitting information back to external ad networks.
2. Our Approach: Restraint and Privacy
In keeping with our architectural philosophy of clarity and simplicity, matemintpickbcn.yachts does not run third-party advertising cookies, invasive tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral marketing trackers. We do not participate in commercial programmatic ad networks or sell telemetry about your visits.
3. Categories of Technologies Used
We classify our browser storage into two straightforward categories:
- Strictly Essential Local Storage: Required for the fundamental technical operation of the site. For example, our script stores your consent decision (`cookie_consent`) so that the banner does not repeatedly pop up every time you change pages. These cannot be switched off without impairing basic interface functionality.
- Functional Form State: Temporary session memory used to ensure that if you navigate between design pages while drafting a project inquiry, your form input values are not abruptly erased.
4. Active Storage Inventory
Here is the complete inventory of storage identifiers utilized by this website:
| Identifier Name | Technology Type | Purpose & Data Held | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
HTML5 LocalStorage | Records your banner selection ('accept', 'reject', or 'preferences') to prevent recurring banner display. | 12 Months (Persistent) |
thermal_session_state |
Session Storage | Maintains active mobile navigation drawer state and active tab memory during single visit. | End of Browser Session |
5. How to Control and Delete Cookies
You have total control over how your browser handles cookies and local storage. You can configure your browser settings to alert you whenever a website attempts to store data, block third-party cookies entirely, or purge stored data upon closing your browser window.
