1. Current configuration
The current static website does not intentionally set advertising, behavioural, analytics or social-media tracking cookies. It does not load remote analytics scripts, advertising pixels, externally hosted fonts or embedded social widgets.
2. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website may ask a browser to store. Cookies can support functions such as remembering preferences, keeping a session active, measuring use or supporting security. Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels and device identifiers.
3. Strictly necessary technologies
If the production version of this website later requires a strictly necessary cookie or comparable storage mechanism for security, load distribution, consent management or an explicitly requested feature, it may be used where legally permitted without optional tracking consent. Such technology should be limited to the purpose that makes it necessary.
4. Analytics technologies
No analytics cookies are intentionally used in the current version. If analytics is introduced in the future, this policy should be updated before deployment to describe the provider, purpose, data involved, retention period and legal basis, and a consent mechanism should be used where required.
5. Advertising and profiling
No advertising or cross-site profiling cookies are intentionally used in the current version. The website does not contain behavioural-advertising pixels or third-party remarketing scripts.
6. Functional preferences
The current version does not need a persistent preference cookie for the navigation or contact form. If optional preference storage is added later, it should store only the minimum information required for the requested convenience feature.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers allow users to inspect, block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking strictly necessary technology can prevent some websites from functioning correctly, while deleting stored data may reset preferences. Because the current Quellarivienne site does not intentionally use non-essential cookies, no optional-cookie consent banner is required for the present configuration.
8. Consent where required
If the site later introduces non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, they should not be activated before the user's valid consent where applicable law requires prior consent. The consent request should be specific, informed, freely given and capable of being withdrawn as easily as it was given.
9. Local storage and session storage
Browser storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage can retain information on a device without using a traditional cookie. The current Quellarivienne website does not intentionally use those technologies for behavioural tracking, advertising profiles or analytics. If they are introduced for an optional feature, the purpose, duration and consent requirements should be assessed in the same way as comparable cookies.
10. First-party and third-party technologies
A first-party cookie is set in the context of the website a visitor is using. A third-party cookie is associated with another domain or service embedded into that website. The current site is designed without third-party analytics, advertising, remote font services, social widgets or other embedded services that would intentionally place third-party tracking identifiers in the browser.
11. Retention and expiry
Where browser storage is necessary in a future production configuration, retention should be limited to what is proportionate for the stated purpose. Session technologies should expire when the relevant session ends where possible. Persistent technologies should have a defined lifetime, be reviewed periodically and not be kept simply because storage is technically available.
12. Withdrawing or changing consent
If optional technologies requiring consent are introduced, visitors should be able to refuse them without losing access to core website content and should be able to change or withdraw consent later. Withdrawal should stop future optional storage or access. It may not automatically erase information already processed lawfully before consent was withdrawn, but stored browser data should be removed or allowed to expire as appropriate.
13. Global privacy signals and browser preferences
Some browsers or extensions send privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Legal recognition and technical support for these signals varies by jurisdiction and browser. The current site does not intentionally operate advertising or behavioural tracking systems that depend on such signals. If that changes, supported preference signals should be evaluated as part of the site's consent and privacy controls.
14. Relationship to the Privacy Policy
Cookies and similar technologies may involve personal information when identifiers, device information or usage data can be linked to an individual or device. Where that occurs, the Privacy Policy explains the broader rules governing collection, lawful basis, sharing, retention, security and individual rights. This Cookie Policy should therefore be read together with the Privacy Policy.
15. Visitors from the EEA, UK and other consent jurisdictions
For visitors in jurisdictions where non-essential cookies or similar technologies require prior consent, optional technologies should remain inactive until valid consent has been obtained. Consent records should be limited to what is needed to demonstrate the visitor's choice, and refusing optional technologies should be as straightforward as accepting them. The present configuration does not intentionally deploy non-essential tracking technologies.
16. Updates to this policy
This policy will be revised if the site's use of cookies or similar technologies changes. The updated date at the top of this page identifies the current version.
