1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. Similar technologies, including local storage, can remember preferences or support website functionality. Some cookies are essential because a site cannot work properly without them. Others are optional and help site owners understand usage, improve content or remember non-essential preferences.
2. How we use cookies
Showzajollystack uses a minimal cookie approach. We use essential storage to remember whether you accepted, rejected or selected preferences in the cookie banner. If you accept optional cookies, we may use analytics cookies to understand aggregate page performance, device categories, referrers and reading patterns. We may also use functional storage to remember voluntary preferences if future site features require it.
| Category | Example name | Purpose | Duration | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | showzajollystack_cookie_choice | Stores your cookie banner choice in local storage so the notice does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear browser storage or update your choice | Yes |
| Analytics | _analytics_session | Helps us understand aggregate visits, page performance and content usefulness when optional cookies are accepted. | Up to 13 months | No |
| Functional | showzajollystack_display_pref | May remember voluntary preferences such as interface choices if such features are introduced. | Up to 12 months | No |
3. Consent choices
When you first visit the site, the cookie banner gives you three choices: “Accept All,” “Reject Non-Essential” and “Preferences.” Accepting allows optional analytics and functional cookies where used. Rejecting limits storage to essential items. Preferences records that you chose to manage your settings. You can change your choice by clearing local storage for this site in your browser and reloading the page.
4. Browser opt-out instructions

In Firefox, open Settings, Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, open Settings or Preferences, then Privacy. In Microsoft Edge, open Settings, Cookies and site permissions. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or set rules for specific sites. Blocking all cookies may affect essential site functions, including remembering your banner choice.
5. Third-party cookies
If we use analytics or embedded services, third parties may set cookies subject to their own policies. We aim to use privacy-conscious settings where available, such as IP minimization, aggregate reporting and limited retention. We do not permit optional analytics cookies unless you accept them through the banner where legally required.
