Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Tonicvaultcabints Retail Intelligence Ltd. uses cookies, local storage objects, and related web telemetry mechanisms on tonicvaultcabints.com. We maintain a transparent posture regarding data retention on user devices.
1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed onto your computer, tablet, or mobile telephone when you navigate web pages. They permit web servers to recognize your specific device, preserve user session preferences, and remember navigational states across page reloads.
In addition to standard cookies, modern websites use Web Storage (such as HTML5 localStorage). We utilize local storage specifically to store your cookie consent choices so you are not prompted repeatedly during subsequent visits.
2. Cookie Classification and Categories
We organize our cookies and storage mechanisms into three distinct classifications:
- Essential (Strictly Necessary): Required for fundamental website operations, including cryptographic security, form state validation, and consent token recording. These do not require user consent under UK and EU privacy regulations.
- Functional: Remember configuration settings such as regional territory view preferences or typography scale adjustments.
- Analytics & Performance: Gather anonymized aggregate metrics regarding reader dwell times, referral sources, and page popularity to help our editorial desk refine report formats.

- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies. You can block third-party cookies or purge stored site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Select 'Standard', 'Strict', or 'Custom' blocking settings.

Please note that if you completely disable essential cookies or clear your browser's local storage cache, your consent preferences will reset, and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
