Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Revised: 2026This Cookie Policy explains how Curiouscrew Cartographic & Geographic Insights Ltd. ("Curiouscrewzayppy", "we", "us", or "our"), Company Registration No. 13894021, registered at 14 Meridian Terrace, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0ES, United Kingdom, uses cookies and related browser storage technologies on our digital publication portal (curiouscrewzayppy.garden).
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you access web pages. They permit websites to recognize your device, preserve reading preferences, verify navigation sessions, and understand aggregate traffic patterns. Related technologies include local storage objects (such as HTML5 localStorage), which store persistent state information locally within your browser without sending data automatically with every HTTP header.
2. Legal Framework & Regulatory Compliance
Our implementation of cookies and local storage tokens complies with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (UK GDPR), and the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended). Under these regulations, non-strictly necessary cookies and tracking scripts require your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous affirmative consent before being written or read.
3. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
We classify the storage mechanisms utilized on Curiouscrewzayppy into three clear operational tiers:
| Identifier / Key | Category | Duration | Specific Operational Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| curiouscrew_cookie_consent_v1 | Strictly Necessary (Storage) | Persistent (Local) | Remembers your cookie consent choice (Accept All or Essential Only) to prevent intrusive banner prompts on subsequent page visits. |
| cc_session_token | Strictly Necessary | Session (Browser close) | Facilitates secure inquiry form transmission, routing integrity, and DDoS protection across our server endpoints. |
| cc_geo_readership_stat | Analytical / Statistics | 6 Months | Collects anonymous, aggregate metrics regarding article scroll depth, enclave dossier engagement, and navigation performance. |
| cc_map_view_pref | Functional Preferences | 12 Months | Remembers user UI settings, metric/imperial unit preferences, and directory filter states. |
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and local storage flags are essential for the fundamental operation, security, and accessibility of our cartographic website. Because these cookies are vital to deliver requested services (such as submitting inquiries and saving cookie choices), they do not require prior consent under PECR Regulation 22. You can configure your browser to block these files, but essential portions of the website may become inaccessible.
5. Analytical & Performance Measurement
With your explicit affirmative consent, we utilize privacy-focused analytics to evaluate how readers interact with our articles, monographs, and treaty databases. All analytical telemetry is processed with IP masking (truncating IP addresses at the subnet level), ensuring no reader is personally identifiable. We never sell, broker, or cross-reference analytical records with external advertising networks.
6. How to Control, Reset, or Withdraw Consent
