1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage Tokens?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit web pages. They serve critical technical functions, such as preserving your session state, remembering theme preferences, and ensuring security across HTTP requests.
On Mercia Gabion Network (britishgabion.com), we minimize cookie usage and prioritize your privacy by implementing strict consent gating and lightweight first-party tokens.
2. Categories of Cookies We Employ
We classify our cookies and local tokens into two clear functional categories:
Category A: Strictly Necessary Essential Cookies
These tokens are mandatory for the technical operation of Mercia Gabion Network. They do not store personally identifiable configurations and are exempted from consent requirements under PECR Regulation 6.
-
ssn_ui5(Lifespan: 30 days): Essential first-party session continuity token used to maintain request state across catalog navigation and form submissions. -
canvas_density_oz2(Lifespan: 30 days): Essential interface rendering and typography configuration token used to scale high-DPI Canvas graphics appropriately for your display.
Category B: Technical Performance & Consent Signals
We deploy Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure privacy-compliant measurement. Before you accept cookies via our consent dock, all four consent signals remain in a strictly denied state:
ad_storage: Set to 'denied' by default.ad_user_data: Set to 'denied' by default.analytics_storage: Set to 'denied' by default.ad_personalization: Set to 'denied' by default.
Your preference status is stored locally in your browser storage under the key consent_state_3d425j so that you are not prompted on every page load.
3. How to Manage and Revoke Your Cookie Consent
You maintain full control over cookie permissions on Mercia Gabion Network at all times:
- In-Site Controls: You can click the “Cookie Preferences” button located in our website footer at any time to review or modify your consent choice.
- Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block or alert you about cookies. Please refer to the built-in Help or Privacy menus of your specific browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge) for instructions on clearing stored cookies.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies (such as ssn_ui5) may impair the visual layout and prevent form dispatches from completing successfully.
4. Third-Party Game Publisher Cookies
Mercia Gabion Network provides direct launch links to third-party game hosting servers. When you click an external game link and leave britishgabion.com, the external platform may set third-party cookies subject to their own separate policies. We encourage reviewing their respective documentation upon arrival.
