Cookie Policy
Detailed information on how frienddashboxs.shop utilizes HTTP cookies, local browser storage, and related web technologies.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. Cookies help platforms recognize your device across visits, facilitate navigation, and store specific configuration preferences. In addition to cookies, modern websites use browser localStorage to store client-side preferences without transmitting data in HTTP headers on every request.
2. How We Use Cookies and Storage
On frienddashboxs.shop, we use cookies and browser storage strictly to ensure our site operates reliably, to remember your consent choices, and to understand how visitors engage with our refrigeration maintenance documentation.

| Category | Purpose | Example | Duration |

4. Detailed Breakdown of Categories
Essential Storage
Essential storage mechanisms are required for the website to function correctly. When you click "Accept All", "Reject Non-Essential", or configure custom preferences in our cookie banner, your choice is stored directly in your browser's localStorage under the key frienddashboxs_cookie_pref. Without this storage, the banner would reappear on every single page navigation.
Analytics Storage (Optional)
Analytical cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our refrigeration educational modules. All collected data is aggregated and anonymized.
Functional Storage (Optional)
Functional cookies enable enhanced web interface features, such as remembering your preferred technical diagram density or high-contrast viewing preferences.
