1. Statutory Framework and Definitions

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, website operators must provide clear, exhaustive information about files, markers, and local storage tokens stored directly on a user's terminal equipment. This Cookie Policy explains the precise inventory of storage mechanisms utilized by choicegrdcrewcabin.com.

2. Deployed Storage Item Registry

In adherence to our strict non-tracking posture, this publication operates without commercial third-party marketing tags, affiliate trackers, or behavioural profiling suites. The table below represents the complete technical inventory of storage tokens deployed on this domain:

Identifier Type Classification Lifespan Functional Purpose
cgc_cookie_consent Local Storage (HTML5) Strictly Essential Persistent (12 Months) Stores the visitor's cookie consent preference (accept / reject) to prevent repetitive display of the banner across subsequent page loads.
cgc_session_state Session Storage Strictly Essential Session Duration Preserves transient interface states such as mobile navigation toggles during uninterrupted browsing across the domain.
cgc_pref_contrast Local Storage (HTML5) Functional 6 Months Maintains system styling overrides where custom viewport contrast states are configured by the client.

3. Detailed Category Classification

Strictly Essential Tokens: These items are strictly required to deliver the digital service requested by the visitor. They enable core security features, record regulatory consent choices, and support basic accessibility skip-links. Under Regulation 6(4) of PECR, strictly essential tokens do not require advance consent, though full disclosure remains mandatory.

Functional Markers: These items allow the web client to remember client-side preferences—such as accessibility adjustments or tab selections—so they do not reset on every page transition. They do not transmit identifiable behavioural logs to external networks.

Analytical and Marketing Markers: This site executes no automated analytical tracking suites or external advertising pixel networks. No cross-site marketing beacons are embedded in our markup.

4. Client-Side Browser Management and Opt-Out

In addition to using the interactive consent banner located at the base of every page on this site, visitors maintain absolute control over local storage items through their individual web browser settings:

  • Clearing Existing Storage: You can purge all stored cookies and local storage tokens at any time via your browser's "Clear Browsing Data" or "Privacy & Security" options menu.
  • Universal Blocking: Modern browsers allow users to disallow all third-party cookies or block local storage writes altogether. Be advised that disabling essential storage will cause the consent banner to reappear on every navigation event.
  • Inspection Tools: Using built-in browser developer tools (F12 > Application > Local Storage), you can inspect our active storage keys in real time to verify that no secondary trackers are loaded.
