Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • European Structural Intelligence B.V.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They enable web servers to recognize your browser, retain session state, verify authenticated transactions, and gather aggregated performance analytics. On showscoopteamtons.homes, we also make use of browser localStorage to remember your privacy choices across visits without transmitting unnecessary network payloads.
2. Categories of Cookies Deployed
We classify our web storage and cookie mechanisms into three functional tiers:
| Category | Technical Key | Purpose & Mechanism | Storage Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | esi_bridge_cookie_consent |
Records your cookie preference choices to suppress repeated prompts across pages. | 12 Months (localStorage) |
| Essential | __cf_bm / csrf_token |
Bot mitigation and prevention of cross-site request forgery attacks on forms. | Session / 24 Hours |
| Performance / Analytics | _esi_stat_id |
Aggregated, non-personally identifiable visit telemetry to evaluate portal speed. | 90 Days |
| Functional | esi_unit_pref |
Remembers preferred engineering units (metric vs kN) when reviewing checklists. | 6 Months |
3. Why We Use These Technologies
Our deployment of cookies and local storage keys is strictly oriented toward technical delivery rather than commercial advertising:
- Security & Form Protection: Preventing automated script injections from overwhelming our engineering contact interfaces;
- Interface State Preservation: Ensuring navigation menus, active tabs, and filter selections remain stable as you browse between technical guides;
- Diagnostic Optimization: Identifying slow-loading pages or broken visual diagrams across various devices to continuously improve accessibility.
4. User Choice & Managing Your Preferences
In compliance with the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and GDPR Article 7, non-essential cookies are disabled by default until you grant explicit consent. You have complete control over whether non-essential cookies are stored on your device.
You can adjust or revoke your consent status at any time without clearing your browser cache.
5. Managing Cookies Through Your Web Browser
You can also configure your web browser to refuse all cookies, block third-party trackers, or alert you whenever a cookie is set. To adjust these controls, visit the privacy preferences section in your browser:
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Prevent cross-site tracking / Block all cookies
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Note that blocking essential cookies may disrupt basic portal functionality, such as form submission tokens or mobile menu operation.
6. Policy Updates & Inquiries
This Cookie Policy is reviewed annually to reflect changes in our technical implementation or European legal guidelines. If you have questions concerning our tracking policies or data protection methods, contact our compliance team at:
