Storage Governance
Cookie Policy and Client Storage Framework
Complete technical disclosure of local browser storage keys, session markers, and consent controls operating on choicegrdfriendflck.
1. Principles of Client-Side Storage
This Cookie Policy explains how Carronfield Motoring Editions Ltd implements small data markers (commonly termed cookies, alongside HTML5 Web Storage) when you access choicegrdfriendflck.autos. We operate under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
Our engineering design deliberately limits local storage to essential functional tokens required for state persistence and security integrity, alongside strictly aggregated usage metrics deployed only where visitor consent is active.
2. Itemised Technical Storage Inventory
The following schedule details all client-side storage keys and cookies deployed by this site:
| Identifier | Category | Provider | Purpose & Function | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cgf_cookie_consent |
Essential | choicegrdfriendflck.autos | Stores the visitor’s consent determination (accept, reject, or preference choices) in local storage to prevent banner redisplay. | 365 Days |
__cf_bm |
Essential | Cloud Delivery Network | Injected by network edge routing to distinguish genuine human web browsers from automated botnets; carries no personal tracking data. | 30 Minutes |
_cgf_analytics_id |
Analytics (Optional) | choicegrdfriendflck.autos | Records an anonymous, pseudonymised session marker used to quantify reading depth on route dossiers; strictly disabled under rejection. | 90 Days |
3. Category Descriptions and Controls
- Essential Storage: These elements are strictly necessary to deliver the digital service requested by the user. They facilitate navigation responsiveness, remember that you have already responded to our consent prompt, and ensure network security. Under PECR Regulation 6, prior consent is not legally required for strictly necessary technical storage.
- Analytics Storage: These optional tokens collect purely aggregate metrics concerning page visit counts, referring sites, and route dossier scroll depth. They allow our editorial team to identify which alpine routes attract the greatest audience interest. No profiling, advertising, or cross-site tracking occurs.
4. Managing and Revoking Consent
You can adjust your cookie settings at any time by clearing your browser cache and refreshing any page on this domain, which immediately restores the consent prompt. Furthermore, every modern browser offers manual granular controls over cookies and local storage. You can block or delete cookies via your browser preferences (typically found within Settings → Privacy → Cookies and Site Data). Please note that blocking essential local storage will cause our consent banner to reappear on each page refresh.
