1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies and browser local storage are compact alphanumeric text files stored on your computer or mobile terminal when you visit modern web platforms. They permit web servers to recognize your browser, retain application inputs, and preserve security settings across multiple page views.
2. How We Implement Cookies
We deploy a minimalist, privacy-first cookie policy. We avoid intrusive cross-site tracking beacons. Our cookies fall into the following discrete classifications:
| Cookie Identifier | Category | Duration | Technical Objective |
|---|---|---|---|
sagasprint_cookie_consent |
Strictly Necessary | Persistent (1 Year) | Stores your consent selection ("all" or "essential") so that the consent banner does not re-appear on subsequent page loads. |
__cf_bm / _cfuvid |
Security & Network | Session (30 mins) | Cloudflare bot management token used to defend our interactive calculator against automated brute-force scraping. |
calc_state_cache |
Functional / Preference | Session | Retains your selected canine weight and route category when navigating between calculation modules. |
3. Consent Persistence & Re-Prompt Suppression
In accordance with European and UK regulatory standards, once you engage with our cookie banner by clicking either "Accept All" or "Essential Only", your decision is committed to your local browser storage under the key sagasprint_cookie_consent. The banner is systematically suppressed on all following sub-pages and subsequent visits until your local cache is cleared or one calendar year has elapsed.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You possess full authority to disable or erase cookies via your web browser configuration settings. Be advised that eliminating strictly necessary storage items may reset your dynamic calculator values each time you navigate between our guides.
