Cookie Policy & Storage Transparency
Effective Date: 7 July 2026
This document details our application of browser-based data storage, including cookies and local storage tokens, on the domain bytepickstck.hair. We provide clear information on the duration, purposes, and management of these tools.
1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files downloaded directly to user devices by website servers. Local storage is a built-in browser feature that allows websites to remember variables locally on your machine. Both mechanisms make it possible to save preferences, support layout formatting, and maintain stable session loads.
2. Our Cookie Framework
We do not use advertising, retargeting, or third-party behavioral tracking pixels. Our site functions purely as a static reference guide, meaning we use only the minimum technical storage elements required to deliver this service. These are summarized in the table below:
| Storage Key / Name | Classification | Operational Purpose | Lifespan / Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| bytepick_cookie_consent | First-Party Essential | Saves your choices from the cookie banner (Accepted or Rejected) so the prompt does not reappear. | 365 Days |
| session_id_temp | First-Party Session | Ensures optimal server routing and styling integrity as you navigate between pages. | Immediate (Deleted on browser exit) |
3. Why We Do Not Require Third-Party Consent Management Providers
Many modern websites use complex consent platforms to manage third-party advertising trackers. Because Bytepickstck does not host third-party tracking cookies, we do not share your browsing history with external ad networks. Our simple, self-hosted banner is designed to provide clean, direct options without tracking scripts.
4. How to Manage Cookies and Storage via Your Browser
If you prefer to disable cookies entirely, you can configure your browser to block them or notify you when they are set. You can find detailed instructions for standard browsers below:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Apple Safari: Settings > Privacy > Block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect basic features of our site, such as the mobile menu toggle and page layout configurations.
