Cookie & Web Storage Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pebblerankcabints Media Ltd. utilizes HTTP cookies and HTML5 localStorage mechanisms on pebblerankcabints.asia. We maintain an austere, privacy-first technical architecture that minimizes client tracking and ensures strict conformity with European ePrivacy directives.

1. What Are Cookies and Client Storage?

Cookies are compact text files placed onto your device's browser memory when visiting a website. They serve vital operational purposes, such as maintaining security states, remembering user interface preferences, and generating aggregate traffic statistics. Modern browsers also leverage HTML5 Local Storage, which stores text data locally without automatically transmitting it over network headers on every request.

2. Comprehensive Table of Cookies & Local Storage

The table below discloses the complete inventory of storage keys and cookies deployed or supported across our web properties:

Identifier / Name Type & Classification Technical Purpose Lifespan
pebblerankcabints_cookie_pref Local Storage / Essential Stores the visitor's choice ("accept", "reject", or "preferences") to prevent repetitive display of the bottom banner. Persistent (until cleared)
__cf_bm / _sec_token HTTP Cookie / Essential Defends against automated bot attacks and malicious distributed denial of service requests. 30 minutes to Session
_pk_id / _pk_ses HTTP Cookie / Analytics (Opt-In) Captures aggregate, non-identifying metrics on page reading duration and referring domains. Masked IP applied. Session to 13 months
ui_text_scale Local Storage / Functional Preserves client-side typography sizing adjustments if selected by reader. Persistent (until cleared)

3. Cookie Categories Clarified

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential): These mechanisms are required for the website to function properly and securely. Because the site cannot operate without them, they do not require prior consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
  • Functional Storage: Used to recognize you when you return to our website and retain your display preferences (such as high-contrast choices or navigation states).
  • Analytics Storage: Generates anonymized aggregate measurements of reading patterns to help us understand which regional dossiers require editorial expansion. These are blocked by default until you select "Accept All".

4. Managing and Disabling Cookies via Browser Settings

You possess full control over cookies and client storage through your web browser configuration. You may delete existing cookies, block third-party trackers, or configure alerts whenever a cookie is proposed.

To adjust preferences within mainstream browser environments:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies → Block third-party cookies or customize permissions per domain.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Set to "Strict" or manage custom cookie exceptions.
  • Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security → Toggle "Block All Cookies" or utilize Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection.
