Data Storage Protocols

Cookie Policy & Telemetry

Transparent accounting of browser storage technologies, purpose categorisations, operational lifetimes, and step-by-step guidance on managing privacy controls.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile handset when you access website domains. Web browsers store these files and transmit them back to servers during subsequent visits, enabling the recognition of preferences, active navigation states, and secure sessions. Modern web applications also utilise HTML5 localStorage, which stores key-value pairs directly in your browser without transmitting them across network requests.

2. Comprehensive Storage Inventory Table

The following audit table enumerates every persistent key, purpose, and classification deployed across zestorysnnyb.christmas:

Storage Key / Identifier Category Purpose Description Retention Period
zestory_cookie_consent Essential Stores the user's cookie banner interaction choice (`accepted` or `rejected`) to prevent banner re-rendering. 365 Days (Local Storage)
zestory_hero_mode Functional Remembers the user's preference for daytime vs nighttime mode on the interactive Zlatni Rat cape viewer. Session / 30 Days
__zst_sec_token Essential CSRF defense token ensuring contact submissions originate from verified browser interactions. Session duration
__zst_perf_metric Analytics (Optional) Aggregated page load render timestamps; no personal or identifiable data recorded. Session duration

3. Detailed Categorisation

A. Essential Technical Storage

Essential storage items are strictly necessary for the technical functioning of the website. These items preserve security integrity, prevent cross-site request forgery attacks on forms, and record your explicit privacy choices. Pursuant to the European ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC), essential items do not require prior opt-in consent.

B. Functional Preference Storage

Functional items store interactive settings that improve your reading experience, such as your chosen day/night state on the interactive hero canvas. If disabled, default visual settings apply upon every new page load.

C. Privacy-First Aggregated Analytics

We do not utilize Google Analytics, Meta tracking pixels, or cross-site commercial networks. Any telemetry we evaluate measures aggregate page view volume and server response latency to optimize static file caching on our Bol edge network.
