This Cookie Policy explains how Tonicvaultcabints Retail Intelligence Ltd. utilizes cookies, HTML5 local storage tokens, and related browser identifiers across the domain tonicvaultcabints.baby.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Identifiers?
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files downloaded to your device when accessing web applications. Similar local storage technologies, such as browser `localStorage`, allow web portals to preserve user state, such as cookie banner acknowledgements or contrast preferences, without transmitting that state back to web servers on every single asset request.
2. Category Schedule of Identifiers Utilized
We classify our storage mechanisms into three distinct tiers:
| Identifier Name | Classification | Storage Medium | Retention Period | Specific Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tonicvault_cookie_preference |
Strictly Necessary | Browser LocalStorage | 12 Months | Stores your explicit choice (Accept, Reject, or Custom) so you are not re-prompted on each page visit. |
__cf_bm / Security Tokens |
Strictly Necessary | HTTP Cookie | 30 Minutes | Managed by edge infrastructure providers to filter malicious automated bot scraping attacks. |
_tv_anon_stats |
Analytics / Performance | Browser LocalStorage | 90 Days | Stores an anonymous session sequence counter to identify popular guide categories; activated solely with user consent. |
ui_nav_state |
Functional | SessionStorage | Active Tab Duration | Preserves scroll offset and navigation drawer accessibility states during complex multi-tab browsing. |
3. Lawful Basis for Storage
In compliance with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR:
- Strictly Necessary Storage: Does not require your prior consent, as these elements are indispensable for securely rendering the website and remembering your privacy choices.
- Optional Analytics & Performance: Are withheld until you explicitly indicate consent through our fixed footer consent prompt.
4. How to Exercise Browser-Level Opt-Out
In addition to our on-site consent banner and preferences modal, you retain full unilateral control through your individual browser software settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data > Block all cookies (or manage exceptions).
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Custom > Cookies.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary local storage keys may result in the consent prompt reappearing on each subsequent page view.
5. Amendments to this Schedule
We periodically audit our static infrastructure. Any revisions to third-party CDNs or telemetry providers will be promptly reflected in the table above alongside an updated review timestamp.
