Cookie Policy

What cookies and local-storage entries soulofcroatiasailing.com uses, what they do and how to manage them.

Last updated: 15 January 2026

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to save on your device. Cookies allow a site to "remember" your actions or preferences over time. Other similar technologies — such as localStorage entries — work in a comparable way. In the rest of this policy we use the word "cookies" as a shorthand for both.

2. How we use cookies

soulofcroatiasailing.com keeps its use of cookies very light. We do not run any advertising network and we do not use cross-site tracking pixels. Today the Site uses cookies and local-storage entries strictly to:

  • Remember whether you have already dismissed the cookie banner so we don't show it on every page view.
  • Keep the Site secure (for example, prevent abusive automated traffic).
  • Help us understand which articles are popular at an aggregate, non-identifying level.

3. Categories of cookies on this Site

3.1 Strictly necessary

These are required for the Site to function. They include the soulofcroatiasailing_cookies_ok entry stored in your browser's localStorage when you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. Without this entry the banner would re-appear on every page.

3.2 Functional

Functional cookies remember small preferences (for example, an expanded FAQ item during your session). They do not identify you personally.

3.3 Performance / analytics (when enabled)

If we enable a privacy-friendly analytics tool, it would collect aggregate information such as page views, country at the city level and referring website. We do not link this data to your name or email.

3.4 Third-party content

When the Site embeds resources from third parties — Google Fonts (typeface), unpkg.com (AOS animation library) and Unsplash (photography) — those providers may set their own cookies as part of normal web operation.

4. Managing your preferences

You can manage cookies in several ways:

  • Use the cookie banner to accept storage of the consent entry.
  • Clear cookies and localStorage from your browser settings at any time. After that the banner will appear again on your next visit.
  • Configure your browser to block specific or all cookies. Note that some functionality may be limited if you block strictly-necessary entries.
  • Use private/incognito browsing if you prefer no entries to persist between sessions.

5. Do Not Track

We honour the spirit of Do Not Track signals. Because we do not run advertising networks or cross-site trackers, there is very little to disable. If you would like more information, please contact us.

6. Changes to this policy

We will update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of the page and, if the change is material, display a notice on the home page.
