Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as preferences and settings. Cookies can be temporary (session cookies) that expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies that remain until they expire or are deleted.
River-trek uses cookies minimally and only for essential functionality. Our cookie usage is limited to storing your cookie consent preference. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears requesting your consent for cookie usage. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage to remember your preference for future visits.
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser data or local storage. This will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new selection.
We use essential functionality that relies on browser local storage rather than traditional cookies. This includes:
These functions are necessary for the website to operate as intended and provide the services you request.
Our website does not use cookies for tracking visitor behavior, analyzing traffic patterns, or collecting analytics data. We do not implement third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics or similar platforms.
We do not use cookies for advertising purposes. Our website does not display third-party advertisements, and we do not participate in advertising networks that use cookies to track users across websites.
Our website does not integrate third-party services that set their own cookies. External links to reference materials or resources do not trigger third-party cookies from our domain.
If you follow links to external websites, those sites may set their own cookies according to their policies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any external sites you visit.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can typically:
Blocking all cookies may affect functionality on websites that require cookies for essential features. Our website requires minimal local storage for form functionality and consent management.
Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser:
In addition to cookies, our website uses browser local storage to save your cookie consent preference and temporarily store form submission data. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but is managed differently by browsers.
You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all browsing data. This will remove stored preferences and require you to accept or decline cookies again on your next visit.
Mobile browsers also support cookie management, though the exact steps vary by device and browser. Check your mobile browser settings for privacy or content settings where you can manage cookie preferences.
If you decline cookies through our banner, the website will continue functioning normally. The only impact is that the cookie banner will reappear on future visits until you accept or until browser data is cleared.
Form submission functionality relies on local storage rather than cookies and will work regardless of your cookie preference selection.
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
If we begin using additional types of cookies beyond our current minimal implementation, we will update this policy and notify users through prominent website notices.
