1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website may store through your browser. Websites can also use related browser storage technologies such as localStorage. This AOT build uses browser storage for privacy preferences and PHP session functionality for essential form/security state.
2. What this website currently uses
The current build stores the consent record under a first-party browser-storage key so the site can remember whether optional Analytics or Marketing categories were enabled or rejected. It also uses PHP session state for CSRF protection and basic form rate limiting. No analytics or advertising tracking script is installed in this build.
3. Preference categories
Strictly necessary
Essential functionality supports site operation, form security, session state and remembering privacy choices. It is not controlled by the optional Analytics or Marketing toggles where it is genuinely necessary.
Analytics
The interface includes an Analytics preference for future use, but no analytics provider is installed in this build. Enabling this preference does not by itself load an analytics tool.
Marketing
The interface includes a Marketing preference for future use, but no advertising or remarketing provider is installed in this build. Enabling this preference does not by itself load a marketing tracker.
4. Third-party resources
The website loads jQuery from code.jquery.com and Bootstrap assets from jsDelivr. These are external resource requests, and the providers may receive standard technical request information. The site also links to Google Maps for directions but does not embed a Google map in this build.
5. Cookie and storage details
A provider-specific cookie table has not been populated because the project does not contain verified cookie names, durations or analytics/advertising vendors. The site should be re-audited if new third-party tools are installed.
6. Manage your preferences
You can reopen the site’s existing preference panel at any time. Rejecting non-essential categories records that choice; accepting all records the optional preferences as enabled.
7. Changing or withdrawing consent
Use the preference control above to change optional choices. You can also clear site data using your browser controls. Clearing browser storage may cause the consent banner to appear again.
8. Browser controls
Most browsers let you inspect, block or delete cookies and site storage. Blocking essential session/storage functionality may affect secure form operation or the site’s ability to remember your privacy preference.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
This policy should be updated if AOT adds analytics, advertising, embedded maps or other tools that change the site’s storage/tracking behaviour. Provider names, cookie names and durations should only be added after verification.
