Cookie and Local Storage Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.

Local storage (also known as Web Storage or localStorage) is a browser feature that allows websites to store data directly in your browser. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to the server with every page request. The data remains in your browser until it is explicitly deleted.

This website primarily uses localStorage rather than traditional cookies. This approach is more privacy-friendly because your stored preferences stay on your device and are never automatically included in requests to our servers.

2. How This Website Uses Local Storage

We use localStorage for one primary purpose: to remember your consent preferences. When you interact with our consent banner (displayed on your first visit), your choices are saved in your browser so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits.

No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or behavioral profiling technologies are installed by default. Optional technologies (Functional, Analytics, Marketing, or Personalization) are activated only if you explicitly consent to them through the consent banner or the "Cookie settings" panel.

3. Local Storage Details

The following table describes the localStorage key used by this website:

The mspg_consent key stores a record of which consent categories you have accepted or rejected, along with the date of your choice. This data is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

After 365 days, the stored value expires and you will be prompted to make your choices again.

4. Consent Categories

Our consent system is organized into five categories. Only the first category is strictly necessary and cannot be disabled:

4.1. Necessary

These are essential for the website to function properly. They include the consent preference storage described above. Without them, the website cannot operate as intended. This category cannot be disabled.

4.2. Functional

Functional technologies improve your experience by remembering preferences you have set, such as your preferred language or the last page you visited. They do not track your activity across other websites. These are disabled by default and require your consent.

4.3. Analytics

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymized data about page views, traffic sources, and user behaviour. This information helps us improve the website's content and performance. These are disabled by default and require your consent.

4.4. Marketing

Marketing technologies may be used to display advertising content that is relevant to your interests. They may track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your preferences. These are disabled by default and require your consent.

4.5. Personalization

Personalization technologies adapt the content displayed on our website to your browsing profile and preferences. They may use data from your past visits to customize the experience. These are disabled by default and require your consent.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can manage your consent preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" button located in the footer of every page on this website. This will reopen the consent panel, where you can:

• Accept all categories.
• Reject all optional categories (only Necessary remains active).
• Customize your choices by toggling each category individually.

Your updated preferences take effect immediately. If you reject a category that was previously accepted, the associated technologies will be deactivated on the next page load.

6. Browser Controls

In addition to our built-in consent panel, you can manage localStorage data directly through your browser's settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, modify, or delete localStorage data through their developer tools or privacy settings.

Please note that clearing your browser's localStorage or site data will remove your saved consent preferences. On your next visit, the consent banner will appear again as if it were your first visit.

You can also configure your browser to block localStorage entirely, although this may prevent the consent system from working correctly. In that case, you will see the consent banner on every visit.

7. Third-Party Technologies

As of the effective date of this policy, this website does not load any third-party cookies or tracking technologies by default. If we introduce third-party services in the future (such as analytics platforms or marketing tools), they will only be activated after you provide your explicit consent for the relevant category.

For information about how contact form data is processed by our third-party form processor (FormSubmit), please see our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie and Local Storage Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If we introduce new categories of technologies or significantly change how we use existing ones, we will reset your consent preferences so that you can make an informed choice about the new technologies.
