This Cookie Policy explains how stacksviewtica (stacksviewtica.lol) utilizes standard web cookies, local storage mechanisms, and similar client-side data modules. Our primary goal is to ensure a smooth, ultra-fast visual mapping experience and to remember your curated itineraries while you browse through our catalog of Europe's top 10 beaches.

1. What are Cookies and Browser Storage Keys?

Cookies are small text-based data packets stored in your web browser when visiting digital platforms. Alongside cookies, we make use of modern browser Local Storage (localStorage). Unlike cookies, localStorage remains stored directly on your hardware and does not transfer back and forth over network packets during every single HTTP request. This significantly boosts page load speeds for images and tables on slower mobile connections or yacht-based satellite internet connections.

2. Categorization of Storage We Deploy

We classify the browser data keys we leverage into three functional categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for standard system capabilities. This includes remembering your responsive menu toggles and preventing unauthorized form submissions. Disabling these via your browser configuration can disrupt fundamental page layouts.
• Personalization & Functional Storage: These keys save your custom visual selections. For example, our system uses local keys to store the unique IDs of beaches you add to your "Saved Havens" list. This allows the travel-itineraries.html dashboard to display your personalized coastal routing maps without forcing you to open a corporate account.
• Performance & Telemetry Cookies: We gather completely anonymized technical measurements—such as your display resolution (to render map graphics correctly) and your site paths—to identify layout errors and optimize site structure.

3. Technical Breakdown of Storage Keys Used

To ensure total transparency, here is the exact list of primary local storage and cookie parameters handled by our system code:

Storage Key Name	Type	Duration	Operational Purpose
stacksviewtica_saved	localStorage	Persistent	Stores the array of bookmarked coastal IDs selected by you to construct your personal itinerary layout.
stacksviewtica_cookie_consent	localStorage	Persistent	Saves your cookie banner preferences (e.g., 'accepted' or 'declined') to prevent the banner from reappearing on subsequent visits.
_ga or equivalent telemetry	HTTP Cookie	Dynamic	Aggregates anonymous user counts and maps regional performance statistics without identifying individual users.

4. Complete Control: Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can adjust, clear, block, or completely purge local cookies and storage variables through your browser settings. Please find standard guidelines for major web platforms below:

• Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• Apple Safari: Open Settings > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Additionally, you can instantly purge your bookmark parameters at any time by clearing your browser cache or choosing the "Essential Only" option on our persistent consent panel.

5. Regulatory Compliance and updates

Our cookie implementation strategy complies with the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC on privacy and electronic communications) and the latest guidelines on active, informed user consent. We periodically update our script versions to reflect new design optimizations and will notify you of any changes through an updated consent banner.
