Cookies.
There is no banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Updated [DATE]
The short version
This site sets no cookies at all, not for advertising, not for tracking, and not for analytics.
Our analytics count visits without a cookie or any personal identifier.
Three small items are kept in your own browser's storage so the site behaves sensibly as you move between pages. None of them identifies you and none of them leaves your device.
If you submit a form we do not set anything to remember you.
Because nothing here needs consent, there is no cookie banner.
In detail
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store and send back on every visit, which is what makes tracking across sites possible. This site does not set any. What it does use is your browser's own storage, which stays on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else.
The third item exists so that, if we ever add a tool that needs your consent, we can ask once and remember your answer. Today no such tool is on the site, so nothing is ever written to it and you will not be asked.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| concierge | Session storage, first party | Keeps your Ask Tempra conversation on screen as you move between pages | Until you close the tab |
| sound | Session storage, first party | Remembers whether you switched the site's sound on, so it does not switch itself back on | Until you close the tab |
| consent | Local storage, first party | Remembers a consent choice, only if a tool that needs consent is ever added to the site | Until you clear your browser's storage |
Why there is no banner
Under the GDPR and Malta's electronic communications privacy regulations, consent is needed to store or read anything on your device that is not strictly necessary for a service you asked for. The three items above are strictly necessary for what they do, they hold no personal data, and nothing else is stored. There is nothing to consent to, so we do not ask.
If that changes
If a future feature needs a cookie or storage that requires consent, this page will describe it first and a consent control will appear on the site before it goes live. We will not add anything of the kind quietly.
Turning storage off
You can clear or block browser storage in your browser's settings at any time. The site will still work. The concierge will forget your conversation between pages and the sound will start off on every visit, which is the only difference you will notice.
