Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how gonermsg.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, and what choices you have.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used.
In addition to traditional cookies, we also use browser localStorage — a technology that stores small amounts of data in your browser. It works similarly to cookies but is not sent to the server with each request. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes localStorage unless otherwise specified.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a minimal number of cookies. The table below lists all cookies set by gonermsg.com:
| Name | Type | Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Strictly necessary | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) so we do not show the cookie banner on every visit. | Until browser storage is cleared |
We currently do not set any tracking, analytics, advertising, or third-party cookies ourselves. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated before any such cookies are introduced.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our website loads resources from the following third-party CDNs to deliver fonts and icon libraries:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — delivers the web fonts used on this site. Google may log a request from your browser when fonts are loaded. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for details.
- unpkg.com — delivers the Phosphor Icons library. This CDN may log request metadata such as IP address. Please refer to unpkg's privacy policy for details.
These CDN requests are made on page load. If you wish to avoid them entirely, you may use a browser extension that blocks third-party requests, though this may affect the display of fonts and icons on the site.
4. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies strictly for the following purposes:
- Essential functionality: Remembering your cookie consent preference so that we respect your choice on future visits without repeatedly asking.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking, or cross-site data collection.
5. Your Consent
When you first visit gonermsg.com, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. Currently, since we only use strictly necessary localStorage, the banner is informational — but we present it in the spirit of transparency and to comply with applicable laws.
You may accept or decline using the banner. Your choice is saved in localStorage under the key cookie_consent.
6. How to Manage and Delete Cookies
Browser controls
All modern browsers allow you to control cookies and local storage through their settings. Here is how to access cookie settings in the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
You can clear all localStorage and cookies for gonermsg.com from your browser's developer tools (Application tab → Local Storage or Cookies).
Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling our localStorage will mean the cookie consent banner will reappear on each visit. Since we only use one localStorage item, disabling it will not break any core functionality of the Website.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. gonermsg.com does not currently track users for advertising or analytics purposes, so DNT signals do not change our data practices. We will update this policy if we ever introduce tracking that would be affected by DNT signals.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
