Cookie & Local Storage Policy
Transparency declaration governing cookies, local web storage identifiers, telemetry management, and user opt-out instructions.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files placed onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone by website servers when you visit a digital domain. Alongside standard HTTP cookies, modern web browsers utilize localStorage—a persistent key-value storage engine within your browser that maintains user settings without transferring data back and forth to servers on every single page request.
At questsmediarostr.skin, we use these technologies to remember route tab preferences, deliver responsive interactive cartography, and record your consent choices in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and Portuguese Law No. 41/2004.
2. Cookie Classification Table
The following schedule details all technical storage items deployed on questsmediarostr.skin:
| Item Identifier | Classification | Entity / Provider | Duration | Purpose & Operational Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
questsmedia_cookie_pref |
Strictly Essential | questsmediarostr.skin | 365 Days (Local) | Stores your cookie consent choice ('accept', 'reject', or 'preferences') so the prompt does not reappear. |
active_route_node |
Functional | questsmediarostr.skin | Session | Preserves the last selected waypoint (e.g., Sintra, Algarve) in the Portugal route telemetry visualizer. |
itinerary_tab_state |
Functional | questsmediarostr.skin | Session | Remembers your selected expedition scope tab (3, 7, or 10-day itinerary) across page reloads. |
_qmr_telemetry_id |
Analytics / Telemetry | questsmediarostr.skin (Internal) | 90 Days | Anonymously measures scroll depth and reading completion rates on territorial monographs. Optional. |
3. Essential vs. Non-Essential Storage
Strictly Essential items are technically necessary to navigate the website and use core functionality. Because the site cannot function smoothly without these elements, they do not require prior consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
Functional & Telemetry items enable enhanced interactive visualizers and aggregated reading performance diagnostics. These items are only activated when you select Accept All on our consent banner.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies via Browser Settings
You can revoke consent, inspect stored items, or block cookies entirely through your browser settings. Be advised that disabling all local storage mechanisms may degrade interactive map features. Follow the official instructions for your platform:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
5. Policy Updates and Contact
We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect enhancements in our application architecture and changes in European regulatory standards. For any questions regarding our storage practices, contact our compliance team at [email protected].
