What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site can store in your browser. This library also uses the browser's localStorage, which stays on your device and is not sent with every request the way a cookie is. We describe both here because the banner asks you to make one choice about storage.
Types we distinguish
Essential storage remembers the choice you made on the banner so the question does not return on every page. Analytics storage would measure visits. The site currently sets no analytics cookie and loads no analytics script, whether you accept or reject. Accepting stores the same kind of record as rejecting: your choice and the time you made it. Rejecting leaves every page, form, and sitting description available.
The record we store
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| pondercompass-cookie-consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. Stored in localStorage as a small JSON record. | 12 months, then the banner returns | Ponder Compass |
| Analytics cookies | None are set. If a visit counter is added later, it will be named in this table before it runs, and it will run only after Accept. | — | — |
Third parties
Font files are requested from Google Fonts when a page loads. That request is separate from the consent record and can expose an IP address to Google. We do not embed advertising, social pixels, or video players. Details of that font request are also in the privacy notice.
How to manage or disable storage
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. After that, you can clear site data for pondercompass.click in your browser settings, which removes the consent record and will show the banner again. Blocking localStorage in the browser also prevents the record from being saved; the pages still open.
Impact of disabling
If you reject, or if you clear storage, the library pages, the contact form, and the sittings remain usable. You will see the banner again after the record is gone. No sitting is withheld because of a reject click.
