Cookie Policy
Information about cookies and similar technologies used by the Whitesolsticeworks website.
Last updated: 7 August 2026
1. About This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Whitesolsticeworks uses cookies and similar browser technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The website is designed to minimise unnecessary tracking and to keep front-end resources local to the project.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website can ask a browser to store on a device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and other browser mechanisms that remember information or support a feature. These technologies can be used for essential functionality, security, preferences, analytics or advertising depending on the website.
3. Our Approach
Whitesolsticeworks aims to use only technologies reasonably necessary for website operation, security and user-requested functionality. We do not intentionally use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioural profiling cookies on this website. We also avoid unnecessary third-party front-end dependencies that could set or read cookies independently.
4. Strictly Necessary Technologies
Strictly necessary technologies may be used where required to deliver a feature you request, maintain security, remember a temporary interface state, prevent abuse or preserve information during a session. Where a technology is strictly necessary, consent may not be required under applicable rules, although transparency obligations still apply.
5. Preference Technologies
If preference storage is introduced in the future, it may remember settings that you actively choose, such as interface preferences. Such storage would be limited to the information needed for that purpose and would not be used for unrelated profiling.
6. Analytics
At the date of this policy, this site is intended to operate without unnecessary third-party analytics scripts. If privacy-preserving analytics are introduced later, this policy will be updated to describe the provider, purposes, data collected, retention and any consent mechanism required by applicable law.
7. Advertising and Social Tracking
We do not intentionally place third-party advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies through this website. If that changes, we will update this policy and implement any consent controls required before non-essential technologies are activated.
8. Legal Basis and Consent
Where GDPR or equivalent consent rules apply, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used only on an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, after valid consent. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and it must be possible to withdraw consent as easily as it was given.
9. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and other stored site data. Browser settings vary, so consult your browser's help documentation for current controls. Blocking all storage can affect some website functions. Necessary features may not work as intended if the browser prevents data required for the requested function.
10. Retention
Session technologies ordinarily expire when the browser session ends. Persistent technologies, if used, remain for a defined period or until removed. We aim to use the shortest retention period reasonably necessary for the stated purpose and to review any persistent storage introduced in the future.
11. Personal Information
Where information associated with a cookie or similar identifier can identify or relate to an individual, it will be handled as personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable New Zealand privacy law. Where GDPR applies, relevant data-subject rights and transfer safeguards also apply.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when website technology, legal requirements or our practices change. The updated version will be published on this page with the revision date. If a change requires new consent, relevant technologies will not be activated until the required choice has been obtained.
