1. Principles of Storage and Cookies
This Cookie Policy details how Vistastemposcout utilizes HTTP cookies, localStorage keys, and related browser storage tokens. When you request web pages on vistastemposcout.com, small text files may be placed within your browser’s cache memory to support page rendering, remember navigation choices, and provide aggregated system telemetry.
2. Classification of Tracking & Storage Tokens
Our digital infrastructure categorizes storage elements across three distinct operational functions:
| Token Designation | Classification | Standard Retention | Functional Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
vistastempo_cookie_choice |
Essential | 365 Days | Stores whether the visitor accepted, rejected, or customized tracking consent. |
__cf_bm / Security Token |
Essential | 30 Minutes | Bot detection token applied by reverse proxy routing to defeat distributed attacks. |
_vsc_analytics_session |
Analytics / Telemetry | Session end | Aggregates visit volume, referring search paths, and reading duration per article. |
_vsc_pref_contrast |
Functional | 180 Days | Maintains user-adjusted high-contrast layout configurations where selected. |
3. Essential Cookies vs Optional Telemetry
Essential cookies do not require prior statutory opt-in consent under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) as they are strictly necessary to deliver the requested service (such as remembering that you dismissed the compliance banner or safeguarding network integrity).
Conversely, non-essential analytical cookies are blocked by default until you deliberately click "Accept All" on the banner interface. If you select "Reject Non-Essential", our scripts drop no marketing, profiling, or analytical tokens into your browser storage.
4. Granular Browser Opt-Out Instructions
In addition to interacting with our banner controls, you can adjust cookie handling settings directly inside your web browser. Modifying these configurations will apply across all web services you visit:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies or purge stored storage entirely.
- Mozilla Firefox: Access Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection. Set preferences to "Strict" or choose specific custom exclusions.
- Apple Safari: Open Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Enable "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" and toggle "Block All Cookies" as preferred.
- Microsoft Edge: Open Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
5. Periodic Policy Revisions
We review our technical token inventory periodically to mirror any updates in our delivery network or European privacy directives. Amendments take effect immediately upon upload to this page, marked with the current review cycle date.
