Cookie notice
What is stored in your browser when you open sugareval.com, why it is stored, for how long, and how to remove it.
Back to the catalogue1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a site asks your browser to keep. On later visits the browser sends it back, which lets the site recognise the same browser. Similar techniques store values in local storage or in the browser’s service worker registry; this notice covers those as well, because they do the same job.
2. Categories used on this site
| Category | What it does | Set by | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembers your answer to the cookie notice so it is not shown again, keeps the page layout working and protects the site against automated abuse. | SugarEval, hosting and content delivery provider | Session up to twelve months |
| Browser notifications | Stores the push subscription issued by OneSignal for this browser, so a notification can reach it, together with the tags attached to the subscription. | OneSignal | Until you turn notifications off |
| Analytics | Counts visits and pages opened, in aggregate, so we can see which reviews are read. Used only if you accept this category. | Analytics provider | Up to fourteen months |
| Advertising and marketing | Limits how often a placement is shown and measures whether it was opened. Used only if you accept this category. | Advertising partners | Up to thirteen months |
3. Your choice
The notice at the bottom of the page records your answer in local storage under a single key. Accepting turns on the analytics and marketing categories; declining leaves only the necessary category, and the site keeps working. Clearing your browser storage removes the record and the notice appears again on your next visit.
4. Browser notifications
Push notifications are delivered by OneSignal and require two separate steps: ticking the consent box in the newsletter form and then allowing notifications in the browser prompt. The push service loads together with the page so that an existing subscription keeps working; no notification can be sent to a browser that has not allowed them. You can revoke the permission at any time in the site settings of your browser, and the subscription stops.
5. How to remove or block cookies
- Chrome — Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies and Delete browsing data.
- Safari — Settings, Privacy, Manage website data.
- Firefox — Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and site data.
- Edge — Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
Blocking every category, including the necessary one, may mean the cookie notice reappears on each visit and that some parts of the page behave inconsistently.
