Cookie Notice

Which entries this website keeps in your browser and how you can change your decision.

This policy explains how Harbourlight Stories uses cookies and similar storage technologies on novixor.org: which categories are involved, how your choice is recorded in the browser and how it can be changed later.

About cookies and browser storage

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device so that it can recognize your browser and keep settings between visits. Browsers offer comparable techniques, above all local storage, which holds entries in a similar way. Where this policy mentions cookies, those technologies are meant as well.

Which cookies this website uses

novixor.org is an information site: there is no customer account and no checkout, so only a few entries are needed. The strictly necessary category covers what the pages and the server require to work safely, including any entry that records an answer to a cookie notice, and it does not depend on consent.

The server that delivers this website sets one cookie of this kind. It contains only a random value, nothing that identifies you by name, and serves to recognize a returning browser and to protect the site against automated abuse. The cookie is renewed whenever you come back and is deleted 30 days after your last visit.

Tracking, profiling and data protection

There are no advertising or retargeting cookies here and no tracking across websites, and we do not build profiles of visitors. Entries that can be connected to a person count as personal data; the privacy policy of Harbourlight Stories sets out why they are used, how long they are kept and what your rights are.

Consent and the cookie notice

Where a cookie notice is displayed, the only thing it saves is your answer, agreement or refusal, as one value in the local storage of the browser you are using (localStorage), after which it stays hidden. It appears again in a different browser or on a different device, and wherever storage is blocked.

Storage periods

Cookies either last for the current session and are discarded when the browser is closed, or they remain for a limited period so that a setting is still known on a later visit. A value saved by a cookie notice is given no expiry date and stays in the browser until it is deleted there.

Changing your choice later

You can withdraw an earlier consent at any time, just as easily as you gave it: delete the data this website has stored in your browser and open a page again, and the saved answer is gone. Every common browser also has settings for cookies and site data, where stored entries can be viewed and removed.

Cookies set by other providers

We do not embed services from other providers that would set cookies of their own. If a map, a video or a comparable element were added later, its provider could place entries on your device as soon as it loads, and this policy would be updated before such content goes live.

Changes and contact

This policy is amended whenever the technologies used on novixor.org change or new rules make it necessary, and the current version, with the date of its last revision, is always the one on this page. If anything here is unclear, you can reach us at [email protected] or by telephone at (613) 400-6864.
