Granular Control: bocardstope.com respects your autonomy. We provide explicit opt-in controls for non-essential cookies and maintain full compliance with Canadian PIPEDA and international ePrivacy guidelines. You can modify your stored preferences at any time.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies and local storage objects (such as HTML5 LocalStorage) are compact data files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you load web pages. They serve critical roles in recognizing your device, maintaining interface states, and assessing website loading speeds.
2. Categories of Cookies We Utilize
Our platform uses three distinct tiers of cookies and local storage tokens:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These items are foundational to site security, network communication, and basic navigation. Without these technologies, fundamental services like our age-gate compliance check (19+) and the cookie preference persistence engine cannot operate. These are enabled by default and do not require user consent under statutory law.
- bat_cookie_consent_v1: Stores your active choice regarding optional analytical and functional cookies (Duration: 12 months).
- bat_session_id: A temporary cryptographic token that protects contact form submissions against cross-site request forgery (Duration: Session).
B. Analytical & Performance Cookies (Optional)
These tokens gather aggregated, privacy-preserving metrics on how visitors navigate bocardstope.com. They track asset download speeds, page load times, and most popular genre categories. All IP addresses are truncated to ensure absolute anonymity.
- bat_analytics_perf: Measures WebGL asset cache efficiency and Canvas rendering frame latencies (Duration: 6 months).
C. Functional & Interface Cookies (Optional)
Functional tokens remember your user interface preferences between browsing sessions, such as remembering your last selected category filter or audio mute state.
- bat_filter_pref: Retains your preferred catalog genre view (Duration: 30 days).
