This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage used on the site, why each is used, and how to manage them. In short: the site sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies.
Cookies and browser storage
Cookies are small text files that websites place in your browser. Local storage and session storage are similar browser features that let a website keep small pieces of information on your device. Unlike cookies, local and session storage are not sent to the website’s servers with each request. Session storage is erased when you close the browser tab; local storage remains until it expires or is cleared.
What the site uses
The site’s own scripts set no cookies. They use the following items in your browser’s storage, all of which stay on your device and are read only by the site:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ge-consent | Local storage | Records the storage choice made in the privacy notice, so the notice is not shown again. | 12 months, then the choice is requested again | Strictly necessary |
ge-player | Session storage | Keeps the current track, position, and play or pause state while moving between pages. | Until the browser tab is closed | Strictly necessary |
ge-intro | Session storage | Shows the opening animation only once per visit. | Until the browser tab is closed | Strictly necessary |
ge-wipe | Session storage | Plays the page transition when moving between pages. | Removed on the next page load | Strictly necessary |
ge-return, ge-return-restore | Session storage | Returns you to your hoodie selection and scroll position after reading a virtue from the shop. | Removed when used, or when the tab is closed | Strictly necessary |
ge-volume | Local storage (session storage without permission) | Remembers the music player volume. | Until cleared; session only without permission | Preferences |
ge-visited | Local storage (session storage without permission) | Shows a shorter opening animation on return visits. | Until cleared; session only without permission | Preferences |
ge-virtues | Local storage (session storage without permission) | Remembers which virtues you have contemplated, shown as lit stars. | Until cleared; session only without permission | Preferences |
Strictly necessary items are needed for features you use, such as continuous music playback across pages and returning to your selection in the shop, and to record your storage choice. They are always active. Preference items remember optional settings between visits. They are kept in local storage only if you select “Allow preferences”. Otherwise they are kept in session storage and erased when you close the tab.
Third-party cookies
- Hosting and security provider. The site is delivered through a hosting, content delivery, and security network. To protect the site against automated abuse, that provider may, in some circumstances, set strictly necessary security cookies such as
__cf_bm(about 30 minutes) orcf_clearance(after a security check, typically for a limited period). No such cookies were set during routine browsing when this policy was written. Your browser may also send the provider reports of network errors. - Payment processor. When checkout is available and you choose to check out, you are taken to the payment processor’s secure page on its own domain. Any cookies set there are governed by the payment processor’s own cookie and privacy policies.
- Security check on the contact form. The contact page loads Cloudflare Turnstile from
challenges.cloudflare.comto protect the form from spam. It runs in a frame on Cloudflare’s domain and may use strictly necessary storage there, under Cloudflare’s own policies. It is not used for advertising or tracking.
The site uses no analytics, advertising, social media, or tracking cookies or pixels. Apart from the contact form’s security check, fonts, images, scripts, and music are served from the site itself.
Your choices
When you first visit, a notice explains the site’s storage and offers two choices: Allow preferences, which keeps preference items between visits, or Essential only, which keeps them only until you close the tab. Your choice is remembered for 12 months. You can change it at any time with the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page, or with the buttons below.
You can also block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may cause features such as continuous music playback to stop working. A Global Privacy Control signal, if your browser sends one, is honored as described in the Privacy Policy.
Changes and contact
This policy will be updated if the site’s use of cookies or storage changes. Questions can be sent to contact@grandeurexcellence.com.
