COOKIE POLICY
Last Updated: February 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. In addition to cookies, web browsers utilize modern web storage mechanisms such as HTML5 Local Storage to save lightweight preferences and interface states.
At showzacheerdeck.living (operated by Cheerdeck Living Food Atlas Ltd.), we adhere to a principle of data minimization. We only employ storage mechanisms that are strictly required for reliable website operation or that provide anonymous statistical metrics to help us refine our European culinary reference guides.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies and storage tokens used across our domain into the following distinct categories:
| Category | Identifier / Key | Lifespan | Description & Lawful Purpose |

Persistent (12 Months) | Stores your cookie consent preference (Accept / Reject) so you are not repeatedly presented with the consent banner across pages. |
| Functional State | efa_nav_state (Session) |
Browser Session | Maintains responsive navigation states and accessible screen reader overlays during your active session. |
| Anonymous Analytics | _efa_anon_ref (Cookie/Token) |

5. Third-Party Trackers and Behavioral Advertising
We do not participate in cross-site behavioral retargeting, ad networks, or commercial profile auctions. We do not sell tracking data or user profiles to data brokers. All editorial guides remain completely free from programmatic advertising scripts and ad-network cookies.
