Privacy and local storage
A small footprint, explained plainly.
Prepared 11 November 2026
Who is responsible
The data controller’s legal identity and contact details are pending. This notice describes the implemented local pilot rather than offering a definitive legal assessment. Applicable rights information and the lawful basis for any future processing need owner-specific legal review.
What stays on this device
The browser stores an age self-declaration under ncj-age and category choices under ncj-consent. These values contain no name, email address or account identifier. Search text and comparison selections remain in page memory and are not sent to a server by this code.
Requests and third parties
No analytics, advertising pixels, remote fonts or embedded media are included. Opening an external operator, support or regulator link takes you to that organisation’s service and its own privacy terms. If the site is later hosted, the host may process access logs; the owner must document the actual hosting arrangement.
Retention and control
Local preferences remain until you clear browser site data or change the choice. They do not synchronise across devices. Cookie settings lets you revise optional categories. Removing ncj-age prompts another self-declaration on your next eligible page visit. Browser restrictions can prevent storage; the page remains usable but choices may not persist.
Before publication
The owner must supply a privacy contact, assess retention and international transfers if relevant, and explain applicable access, correction, deletion and complaint routes. Do not treat these pending details as a completed privacy compliance review.
