1. Understanding Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are compact text files stored on your device by your browser when accessing websites. Similar client-side technologies include the HTML5 LocalStorage API, which stores technical values without transmitting them automatically with every HTTP request header.
CuriosityQuibly AV Systems Ltd operates a lean, performance-oriented technical platform. We do not integrate third-party ad retargeting pixels, marketing tracking networks, or commercial fingerprinting scripts.
2. Active Browser Storage Identifiers
| Category | Purpose | Example Identifier | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site operation & saving cookie choice | cq_cookie_pref (LocalStorage) |
Persistent (12 months or until cleared) |
| Functional | Preserves UI states, navigation drawer toggle | cq_ui_mode (SessionStorage) |
Session duration (closes with tab) |
| Security | Protects technical inquiry form from automated bots | cq_sec_token (Session Cookie) |
Session duration (transient) |
3. Detailed Category Breakdown
A. Essential Local Storage
These items are mandatory for the website to function correctly. Specifically, when you select "Accept All", "Reject Non-Essential", or configure "Preferences" in our bottom banner, your choice is written to browser LocalStorage under the key cq_cookie_pref. This prevents the banner from repeatedly popping up across every subsequent subpage visit.
B. Analytics and Telemetry
We do not run external tracking suites such as Google Analytics or Meta Business Pixel. Aggregated server metrics (such as total monthly bandwidth, 404 URL errors, and request response codes) are calculated entirely on our UK/EU cloud servers using anonymized server access logs without deploying tracking cookies on your device.
C. Third-Party Embedded Content
We do not embed third-party iframes, social media feeds, or external mapping tracking scripts. Our location map on the contact page is rendered as an internally styled, static SVG graphic rather than an external script harness that drops profiling cookies.
4. Browser-Level Cookie Management
You possess direct control over how your web browser manages cookies and local storage tokens. Most modern browsers allow you to view stored tokens, block third-party trackers entirely, or wipe storage caches upon browser shutdown.
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or remove specific keys.
- Mozilla Firefox: Access Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
- Apple Safari: Open Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy > Block All Cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Note that disabling essential local storage will cause the consent banner to appear on every page reload, as your preference state cannot be saved.
