This page describes the cookies and similar tools used by EssentialFour.com. It distinguishes what has been verified in the site's code from any technologies of the hosting infrastructure, whose actual presence will be checked on the public domain. This page is for information purposes and does not constitute a certification of regulatory compliance.
1. What cookies and similar tools are
Cookies are small text files that a site can store in the visitor's browser. Similar tools, such as localStorage and sessionStorage, allow the browser to retain information in a similar way. They may have technical purposes, necessary for the operation of the site, or analytical, advertising or profiling purposes.
2. Which cookies EssentialFour.com currently uses
Verified in the code: the site's application code does not set its own cookies. LocalStorage is not used for visitors. Fonts, images and other content are served directly from the site's origin, without requests to external services such as Google Fonts.
The contact form transmits the data entered to the site's server. Any email notification to the owner is sent exclusively by the server and does not involve setting cookies in the visitor's browser.
3. Technical session storage for scroll restoration
The site's navigation system uses a technical sessionStorage entry named tsr-scroll-restoration-v1_3, exclusively to restore the scroll position while navigating between pages.
This information remains in the visitor's browser, is not used to identify them or for analysis or profiling purposes, and is normally deleted when the browser tab or window is closed.
4. Temporary storage of the answers to the “Where Are You Looking?” path
The interactive path “Where Are You Looking?” uses a technical sessionStorage entry named essential-four:observation:v1 to temporarily store the answers and the step reached, so that the path can be resumed during the same browsing session.
The answers remain exclusively in the visitor's browser, are not transmitted to the server and are not used to identify, analyse or profile the visitor, and are normally deleted when the browser tab or window is closed. The visitor can delete them at any time using the “Delete my answers” command within the path.
5. Any technical security cookies of the infrastructure
The site is hosted on the Lovable infrastructure, which also uses Cloudflare network services. Such services may possibly set technical cookies necessary for security and protection from abuse.
To be verified: the actual presence, names and duration of these possible cookies cannot be determined from the site's code and will be verified on the public domain. This page will be updated with the ascertained information.
6. Absence of analytical, advertising and profiling cookies
At present, EssentialFour.com does not use statistical analysis tools, advertising pixels, marketing or profiling systems. For this reason, prior consent via a banner is not requested.
Should non-strictly-necessary tools be introduced in the future, their use will be subject, where required, to the visitor's prior consent and this page will be updated.
7. Managing cookies through the browser settings
Every browser allows you to view, block or delete cookies and stored data through its settings. Disabling technical cookies or session storage could compromise some site features, such as scroll position restoration.
8. Privacy Policy
For further information on the processing of personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
