This Cookie Policy explains how Reelroost Teamtons Studio Ltd uses cookies and similar storage technologies on Reelroostteamtons.com. We believe in minimal data footprint architectures: our interactive tools and discovery scorecards run entirely inside your browser's local sandbox without unnecessary tracker overhead.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
A cookie is a compact text string stored on your device by your web browser at the request of a visited website. It enables the site to remember your specific actions, layout preferences, and security state over a specified duration. Modern applications may also utilize browser localStorage to store simple preference tokens locally without passing data headers on every HTTP request.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis for Deployment
In accordance with the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (PECR) and the UK Information Commissioner's Office guidelines:
- Essential Cookies & Local Tokens: Deployed under the statutory exemption for strictly necessary services. These are required to deliver basic site features, maintain our edge security shield, and store your consent preferences. They do not require prior opt-in consent.
- Analytics Cookies: Only activated if you click "Accept All" or configure affirmative preferences via our bottom cookie banner. These assist our engineering team in identifying broken links and popular guides.
4. How to Manage and Opt-Out in Your Browser
You have full authority to modify or revoke cookie preferences at any time. You can clear your local browser storage to reset your banner choice. You can also block cookies across the web using standard browser configuration settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Please note that disabling all cookies may prevent third-party security firewalls from distinguishing your connection from automated scrapers, which may affect asset loading speeds.
