Cookie Notice

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device so that it can tell your browser apart from others and keep settings between visits. Browsers also offer a local storage area that holds entries in a similar way; whenever this policy speaks of cookies, such entries are included.

How long entries are stored

Session entries disappear when the browser window is closed, while others are given a set lifetime so that a preference survives until you come back. The answer saved by the cookie notice does not expire and remains until you or your browser remove it.

Tracking, profiling and data protection

We use no advertising cookies, no marketing pixels and no trackers that follow visitors to other websites, and information from your visit is not sold or passed on for advertising. Where it can be related to a person, our privacy policy explains how we obtain consent, how long we keep information and what your rights are.

Which cookies this website uses

Only a few entries are needed to run this website, which presents information and contact details rather than an account area or an online shop. Strictly necessary entries keep the pages usable and secure and include any value that remembers a decision about a cookie notice; for them no consent is required.

The server that delivers this website sets one cookie of this kind. It contains only a random value, nothing that identifies you by name, and serves to recognize a returning browser and to protect the site against automated abuse. The cookie is renewed whenever you come back and is deleted 30 days after your last visit.

Consent and the cookie notice

Where a cookie notice is displayed, the only thing it saves is your answer, agreement or refusal, as one value in the local storage of the browser you are using (localStorage), after which it stays hidden. It appears again in a different browser or on a different device, and wherever storage is blocked.

Withdrawing your consent and deleting cookies

Changing your mind is simple: remove the stored data of this website in your browser settings and reload a page, and the previous answer is replaced by a new one the next time you are asked. Browsers also let you manage cookies for one site or for all of them, usually in their privacy settings.

Content embedded from other providers

No external content with cookies of its own is integrated at present. Should an embedded map or video be used in future, its provider may store information on your device as soon as the content is displayed, and this page would be amended before such an element is published.

Changes and contact

We review this policy when the website changes, when new functions are added or when the rules develop; only the version on this page applies, and the date at the top shows its last revision. Questions can be sent to Riverbend Lens Collective at [email protected] or asked by telephone on (519) 815-9941.
