1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by your web browser when you visit websites. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, remember your viewing preferences, and provide basic security. In modern web development, "Local Storage" (HTML5 Web Storage) works similarly by allowing key-value data to be saved directly in your browser without transmitting that data to the server on every request.
2. How We Use Storage on This Site
We believe in minimal, privacy-centric technology. We do not implement third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media widgets, or intrusive behavioral trackers. Our site utilizes only strictly essential first-party storage required to maintain interface state and record your consent choices.
3. Cookie and Storage Table
The table below describes all storage items utilized across pureripplepckbcn.monster:

4. Essential vs. Non-Essential Storage
Strictly Necessary Storage: These items are technically required for the core functionality of the website, such as remembering your privacy preferences and ensuring responsive navigation menus operate properly. Under European ePrivacy regulations and the GDPR, essential storage does not require prior consent.
Analytics & Marketing Storage: We do not load non-essential marketing or analytics scripts. If we introduce optional analytical tools in the future, they will remain disabled until you click "Accept All" or toggle analytical cookies on in your preferences.
