1. What are Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to help them work efficiently and remember useful information about your visit. Local Storage is a similar browser technology that lets a website save a small amount of data locally on your device while you are using it.
- Cookies can be 'session' cookies (removed when you close your browser) or 'persistent' cookies (kept for a defined period).
- Local Storage remains in your browser until you or the site clears it, and it is used here to make your experience smoother.
- Harvey Designs does not use cookies to identify you personally unless you voluntarily submit information through a form.
2. Essential Local Storage
Our multi-step Project Brief builder uses browser Local Storage to save your progress while you are filling it out. This is purely functional and helps protect your work.
- If you close your browser or refresh the page, your draft answers remain available on the same device.
- This local copy is not uploaded to our servers or accessible to us until you actively click Submit.
- You can clear this data at any time by clearing site data for harveydesigns.co.uk in your browser settings.
3. Analytics Cookies
