This Cookie Policy explains how Finderstoryshelf Media Ltd. uses cookies, local storage objects, and similar browser telemetry technologies when you navigate our map-first platform at finderstoryshelf.pics.
1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. Local storage is an HTML5 browser technology that allows web applications to store key-value data persistently on your device without transmitting it over every HTTP network header. We use both mechanisms to preserve your selected coastline filters, map position, and privacy consent state.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
We classify our browser storage mechanisms into three distinct operational tiers:
| Cookie / Key Name | Category | Lifespan | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
finderstoryshelf_cookie_consent |
Strictly Necessary | 12 Months | Stores your decision regarding analytical cookie acceptance so the consent banner is not shown repeatedly. |

Functional | Session / 30 Days | Remembers whether you last explored the French Riviera, Amalfi, or Algarve coast for instant map focusing. |
_fss_metrics_id |
Analytics (Optional) | 14 Days | Anonymized aggregation of page load velocity and coastline card interaction metrics without IP logging. |
