Cookie and local storage policy

Cookies are small files or identifiers that websites can store or read through a browser. Other browser technologies, including localStorage and sessionStorage, can also store information on a device.

Some technologies are necessary to provide a requested service, while others are used for analytics, personalisation or advertising and may require prior consent under applicable law.

Trivia Picker currently uses sessionStorage to remember question identifiers already shown, reducing repetition during the active session. It is not used to build a personal profile or track users across unrelated websites.

sessionStorage is technically different from a cookie and usually remains only for the life of the browser tab or session. Users can clear site data using browser controls.

If the production infrastructure requires technical cookies for security, load balancing, fraud prevention, consent management or requested functionality, this policy will identify their name, provider, purpose and duration once those details are known.

Strictly necessary technologies will not be repurposed for hidden advertising uses without the required information and legal basis.

This policy does not state that non-essential analytics is currently active. If analytics technology that stores non-essential identifiers is introduced, the provider, purpose, duration and user choices will be documented and consent will be requested where required.

Trivia Picker is designed to support advertising in the future, but technical readiness does not mean advertising cookies are currently active. If Google AdSense or another advertising network is enabled, this policy and the consent interface will be updated before technologies requiring authorisation are used.

Relevant providers and purposes, such as measurement, frequency capping, fraud prevention and personalised or non-personalised advertising, will be disclosed as required.

Users can remove cookies and site storage through browser settings. Blocking storage may affect some functionality, including the mechanism that remembers previously shown questions during a session.

If a consent-management platform is introduced, users will be able to revisit non-essential preferences through the control provided on the website.

This policy will be changed when the technologies used by the website change. A definitive cookie list can be completed once the production domain, hosting provider, analytics configuration and any advertising platform are known.
