Cookie Policy | Viblyshufflespt

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your display preferences, and provide aggregated analytics to site owners. Modern web standards also utilize HTML5 LocalStorage, which operates similarly without transmitting data automatically in HTTP headers.

2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

We classify the storage mechanisms on our platform into three explicit categories:

A. Strictly Necessary & Functional (Always Active)

These items are essential for fundamental site operations. For example, our viblyshufflespt_cookie_consent token remembers that you have accepted our cookie banner so that you are not interrupted repeatedly on future page visits.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Aggregated)

These anonymous cookies gather data regarding page view durations, scroll depths, and browser rendering errors. This data enables us to identify broken recipe links and optimize layout speed on small mobile viewports.

C. Interactive Preferences

Used to save your interactive quiz selections in the Morning Palate Matcher so your recommended culinary regions remain visible throughout your session.

3. How Long Do Cookies Persist?

Cookies on our website are classified by duration:

Session Cookies: Temporary files erased automatically when you close your web browser.
Persistent Storage: Remains on your device until its set expiration time (e.g., 12 months for cookie consent verification) or until manually cleared through your browser settings.

4. Managing and Clearing Cookies in Your Browser

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies & Site Data.
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect new regulatory requirements or technical changes. All changes take effect immediately upon publication.
