Cookie Policy
How toptllypurepixel.hair uses cookies, local storage key-value pairs, and how you retain total control over your device data.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you load website pages. They allow a website to recognize your browser, maintain basic preferences, and support responsive functionality.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web browsers feature HTML5 Local Storage. Local storage allows a platform to store persistent key-value data directly on your device without transmitting those values to a web server on every HTTP request. On toptllypurepixel.hair, we use local storage specifically to store your privacy and cookie choices so you don't receive repetitive consent banners every time you navigate between pages.
2. Detailed Cookie Categories
We structure our digital storage mechanisms into three distinct classifications, outlined in the table below:
| Category | Key / Identifier | Specific Purpose | Retention Duration | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | purepixel_cookie_choice (localStorage) |
Saves your accepted consent tier (accept, reject, or preferences) to avoid re-prompting. | Persistent (until browser cache is cleared) | No (Strictly Necessary) |
| Essential | sess_token (Session Storage) |
Maintains secure CSRF form validation states during contact enquiry submissions. | Session duration (closes with browser) | No (Strictly Necessary) |
| Functional | tour_route_pref (localStorage) |
Remembers your selected route distance units (kilometres vs miles) where toggled. | 30 days | Yes |
| Analytics | anon_pv_count (localStorage) |
Internal counter of guide pages viewed to identify helpful articles without third-party tracking. | 14 days | Yes |
3. What We Do NOT Use
We believe in honest, non-intrusive touring advice. Therefore:
- We do not employ cross-site marketing trackers or third-party retargeting pixels (such as Meta Pixel or third-party behavioral networks).
- We do not sell personal browsing patterns to data aggregators.
- We do not run invasive canvas fingerprinting or device audio profiling scripts.
4. Managing and Revoking Cookie Choices
You have several straightforward methods to manage or withdraw your consent:
A. Resetting Your Choice on This Site
You can clear your stored preference at any point by clicking the button below, which removes our local storage keys and restores the consent banner on your next visit:
B. Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser enables you to inspect, block, or delete cookies and local storage items:
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
- Apple Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy & Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.
Please note that completely disabling essential local storage may prevent the website from remembering that you dismissed the consent banner.
5. Updates to This Policy
We periodically review this Cookie Policy to ensure continued alignment with relevant regulations (including the EU ePrivacy Directive and UK PECR). Updates will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
