Cookie Policy
This policy explains how matsystorycrate.homes uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or similar browser storage items placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a site operate, remember choices and gather information about how pages are used. Some cookies last only while your browser session remains open. Others remain for a longer period until they expire or are deleted.
How we use cookies
We use cookies and local storage items to support core site functions, remember your cookie preferences and, where you choose, help us understand general site usage. Because browser technologies differ, the term cookies in this policy includes similar local storage tools where the same practical purpose applies.
Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Example use on this site | Can you disable it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Supports core functionality and consent recording. | Remembering that you have made a cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | You can block some essential cookies in your browser, but parts of the site may not work properly. |
| Functional | Remembers optional preferences that improve convenience. | Saving selected preference choices within this browser for a smoother repeat visit. | Yes. You can reject these in the banner preferences. |
| Analytics | Measures general site use and content demand. | Understanding which guides are read, how visitors move between pages and where technical improvements may be needed. | Yes. You can reject these in the banner preferences or browser settings. |
Consent choices
When you first visit the site, the cookie banner gives three choices: accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or open preferences. If you accept all, essential, functional and analytics cookies may be used. If you reject non-essential cookies, only essential tools remain active. If you open preferences, you can choose which optional categories to allow before saving your selection.
Browser controls
Most browsers let you block, delete or manage cookies through settings menus. You can usually remove stored cookies, block future cookies from specific sites, or configure the browser to alert you before storage is written. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use. Browser support pages from providers such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge explain their controls in detail.
Blocking all cookies may affect usability, including consent storage and certain preference functions. Deleting cookies after making a choice may cause the banner to reappear because the browser no longer retains the earlier decision.
Third-party services
Where service providers are used for hosting, security or site measurement, they may set or access cookies or comparable identifiers as part of delivering those services. The precise cookies involved can vary by provider, browser and configuration. We aim to limit non-essential storage to uses that support the operation and improvement of the site.
Retention
Essential and preference-related storage items remain for a period that is reasonable for remembering your choices unless you clear them sooner. Analytics-related cookies, where consented to, may persist for a defined lifespan set by the relevant service or browser, subject to deletion by you or expiry under browser rules.
Updates and contact
We may update this policy if site features, legal requirements or service providers change. Questions about this policy or about cookie choices may be sent to [email protected].
