Cookie Policy
This document explains how tinkerlypixelscabn.com employs browser cookies and local storage tokens, what data is retained, and how you retain complete authority over your tracking preferences.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit web platforms. They enable websites to recall user actions and interface states (such as active consent choices, navigation states, and basic session telemetry). Modern websites also use browser localStorage to store user selections persistently without transmitting data in HTTP request headers.
2. How We Use Cookies on This Website
We prioritize data minimization. We do not use intrusive cross-site ad retargeting, fingerprinting trackers, or behavioral profiling scripts. Our cookie usage falls strictly into two clear classifications:
- Strictly Essential Functional Storage: Required for the technical security, mobile navigation responsiveness, and storage of your explicit consent choices. These cannot be disabled without compromising site operation.
- Anonymized Operational Analytics: Used to understand which logistics guides (such as Alpine pass clearance or customs manifests) generate high interest, enabling us to expand relevant technical documentation. These are active only if you grant consent.
3. Detailed Inventory of Cookies and Storage Tokens
The table below provides a complete audit of all browser storage mechanisms deployed across tinkerlypixelscabn.com:
| Identifier / Name | Category | Specific Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tpc_cookie_consent |
Functional (LocalStorage) | Stores your cookie consent choice ("accept", "reject", or "preferences") so the banner remains hidden on subsequent visits. | 365 Days | Yes |
tpc_session_state |
Functional (Session) | Maintains active mobile drawer navigation state and prevents layout shifts during page transitions. | Session only | Yes |
_pk_id / _tpc_analytics |
Measurement (First-Party) | Records an anonymized hash of visits to assess readership of route planning guides. IP addresses are truncated before storage. | 30 Days | No (Requires Consent) |
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences On-Site
When you first land on tinkerlypixelscabn.com, you are presented with our bottom consent banner containing three specific actions:
- Accept All: Authorizes both functional tokens and anonymized analytics cookies.
- Reject Non-Essential: Disables all analytics tracking, leaving solely the technical consent token.
- Preferences: Opens fine-grained selection options allowing individual toggle of analytical telemetry.
You may reset your on-site choice at any time by clearing your browser local storage for this domain or using the interactive button below:
5. Universal Browser-Level Opt-Out Guidance

- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Please note that blocking all cookies at the browser level may prevent user preferences from persisting between browsing sessions.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We review our cookie inventory annually or upon deploying new technical features. Revisions will be published here with an updated revision date.
