1. What this policy covers
This policy explains cookies and similar browser technologies used by friendbasketroostr.forum. A cookie is a small data file that a website may ask a browser to store. Similar technologies can include local storage, which keeps a value in the browser without using a traditional cookie request. The exact behavior depends on the browser and the site implementation.
2. Technologies currently used
The site uses browser local storage to remember whether a visitor selected Accept All, Reject Non-Essential or Preferences on the cookie banner. This preference allows the banner to remain dismissed on later visits in the same browser. It is not an analytics identifier and is not used by this site to track activity across other websites. The current static site does not implement analytics, advertising, social-media tracking pixels or third-party embedded content.
The hosting environment may use technical mechanisms to deliver and protect web pages. Those mechanisms are controlled by the hosting provider and may not be fully visible in the site’s frontend. Refer to the hosting provider’s own policies for its infrastructure-level technologies.
3. Cookie category table
| Category | Purpose | Example | Duration | User Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site operation | Cookie preference | Session / persistent | Limited |
| Analytics | Anonymous usage analysis | Analytics identifier | Varies | Available |
| Functional | Remember preferences | Display preference | Varies | Available |
The table describes common category meanings for transparency. On this website, only the essential browser-storage preference described above is currently implemented. Analytics and additional functional preference technologies are not active. No analytics identifier is set by the site, and no statistics service is included in its code. “Accept All” therefore does not enable analytics that are not present.
4. Your banner choices
Accept All stores an “accept” choice. Reject Non-Essential stores a “reject” choice. Preferences stores a “preferences” choice. The banner then closes, and the selection is retained in local storage. Because the site has no non-essential analytics or advertising cookies, these controls currently affect the recorded banner choice rather than enabling tracking. You can remove the saved value by clearing this site’s local storage or browser data; the banner may then appear again.
5. Browser-level controls
Most browsers provide controls to review, block or delete cookies and site storage. Look in the browser’s privacy, security or site-settings menu. You can usually clear data for a specific domain or clear browsing data for a date range. Private or incognito modes typically clear some local data when the session ends, but behavior differs between browsers. Browser extensions and device settings may also restrict storage. If you disable all storage, the website may not remember your banner choice and may show it again on a later visit.
Instructions change as browser software is updated. Use the browser’s own help pages for current steps. Clearing data can sign you out of unrelated websites or remove saved preferences, so review the selected domain and data types before confirming. This site does not provide technical support for third-party browser products.
6. Third parties and future changes
No analytics or advertising processor is currently integrated. If a future version adds optional analytics, embedded media, advertising or other third-party technology, the operator should update this policy and provide appropriate controls before activation where required by law. External websites linked from the guide operate independently and may set their own cookies when you visit them. Review their policies separately. A link does not mean that this site controls their technology.
7. Contact and policy updates
For questions about browser storage or privacy, contact [email protected] or visit the Privacy Policy. The operator may revise this page to reflect changes in the site or applicable requirements. The effective date at the top identifies the current published version. This policy is a plain-language description, not legal advice or a certification of compliance.
