Storage & Telemetry
Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. Clear classification of local web storage technologies and cookie categories utilized on Sortsptshowmeadow.
1. Nature of Cookies and Local Storage
A cookie is a compact alphanumeric data file placed onto your computing device or mobile terminal by web server software when you view a website. It allows the site to recognize your browser on future page requests. In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web browsers utilize client-side localStorage to preserve configuration state persistently without re-transmitting tokens with every server request.
Sortsptshowmeadow Nordic Media AS operates this website in conformance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended) and the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (Ekomloven § 2-7b).
2. Classification Table of Storage Elements
Below is a comprehensive schedule of the cookies and local storage tokens deployed on this domain:
| Identifier | Category | Entity | Retention | Explicit Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sp_cookie_choice |
Essential | First-Party (localStorage) | 12 months | Records your consent response ("accept", "reject", or "preferences") to suppress redundant banner presentations. |
sp_session_gate |
Essential | First-Party (Session Cookie) | Session end | Maintains cryptographic anti-forgery tokens for validating form submissions on the contact interface. |
_sp_perf_telemetry |
Analytics (Opt-in) | First-Party (Local state) | 30 days | Aggregates anonymous page load durations and render milestones to detect mobile layout lag. Disabled by default. |
sp_view_contrast |
Functional | First-Party (localStorage) | 6 months | Saves local font rendering or reduced-motion preferences if configured by the user. |
3. Essential Cookies vs. Optional Telemetry
Essential cookies and storage items are strictly necessary to deliver the technical core of the service you explicitly requested. Under applicable European statutory directives, these do not require prior opt-in consent because the site cannot function reliably without them.
Non-essential cookies (such as analytics tokens) remain dormant on your browser until you affirmatively click "Accept All" or configure your preferences. If you select "Reject Non-Essential", these items are blocked, and only the required technical consent flag is saved.
4. How to Manage and Revoke Consent
You can adjust your cookie settings at any time using our platform controls or through your web browser:

Every standard modern web browser provides controls to inspect, block, or delete cookies:

- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data.
- Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Privacy → Block All Cookies.

Please note that disabling all cookies at the browser level may prevent form tokens and layout preferences from persisting between visits.
