Cookie & Local Storage Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Revised: February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Vibly Curious Crew Global Ltd. ("we", "us", "our") utilizes HTTP cookies, localStorage keys, and web beacon technologies on viblycuriouscrew.garden. It is designed to provide complete transparency in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local Storage (HTML5 LocalStorage) is a modern browser mechanism that allows web applications to store persistent user preferences (such as your decision to dismiss banner notices) directly within your client browser without expiring at the end of a single session.
2. Cookies and Storage Tokens We Utilize
| Token Name | Type | Lifespan | Explicit Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
vcc_cookie_consent_choice_v2026 |
LocalStorage (Essential) | Persistent (1 Year) | Remembers your consent preference so the banner never reappears needlessly on subsequent visits. |
__vcc_session_token |
Session Cookie (Essential) | Session end | Maintains anonymous navigation state across festival detail sub-pages. |
_vcc_filter_cache |
LocalStorage (Functional) | 30 Days | Remembers which festival category pill (e.g., Food Warfare) you selected during exploration. |
3. Why Our Consent Banner Does Not Reappear
Unlike intrusive tracking networks, once you click either "Accept All" or "Preferences" on our consent banner, we write an immutable key to your local browser storage. Our scripts check for this token before rendering the banner UI, ensuring a seamless, undisturbed reading experience.
4. Managing and Clearing Cookies in Your Browser
You have the complete technical freedom to clear your browser cache, remove stored cookies, or disable LocalStorage at any time through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological adjustments or new regulatory standards. Changes take effect immediately upon publication.
Questions regarding our cookie practices can be addressed to: [email protected].
