Cookie Guide

Last updated: 2026-05-23

A plain-English guide to the cookies and storage tokens we use — and why.

A cookie is a small text string that a website places in your browser. It lets the site remember a piece of information between page loads or visits — for example, "this visitor has already confirmed they are 19+."

InukshukSpirit also uses localStorage alongside cookies. localStorage is a browser-native key/value store that lives on your device and never gets sent to our servers. We use it as a fallback because some browser configurations block third-party cookies but allow localStorage.

InukshukSpirit sets exactly two first-party tokens, each written as both a cookie and a localStorage entry with matching expiry:

Token name Purpose Expiry Category Sent to server?
uw_age_ok Records that you confirmed you are 19 or older. Without this, the age gate re-appears on every page load. 180 days Essential / Functional Cookie: yes (HTTP header). localStorage copy: no (client only).
uw_ck_ok Records your response to the cookie banner (accepted or declined). Without this, the banner re-appears on every visit. 180 days Essential / Functional Cookie: yes. localStorage copy: no.

Both tokens store only a short string ("1" for accepted, "0" for declined). No personal information is encoded in either value.

Every page on InukshukSpirit loads a Google Consent Mode v2 script block in the <head> before any other scripts. On first load — before you interact with the cookie banner — all consent types default to "denied" (except security_storage, which is always "granted" per Google's requirements for fraud prevention).

If you click "Accept" on the cookie banner, we call gtag('consent','update',…) to grant analytics_storage, functionality_storage, and personalization_storage. If you click "Decline" or close the banner, consent remains denied for those types.

InukshukSpirit does not load Google Analytics, Google Ads, or any other Google tag after the consent signal — the Consent Mode block is present for infrastructure compatibility only and does not activate any tracking tags.

InukshukSpirit loads resources from two external CDNs. These services may set their own cookies or log connection data subject to their own privacy policies:

Service What it delivers Cookies / logging Privacy policy
Google Fonts
fonts.googleapis.com
fonts.gstatic.com		 Creepster and Poppins typefaces used across the site. Google may log your IP address and browser user-agent when the font files are fetched. Google states it does not use this data for ad targeting. Google Privacy Policy
Cloudflare cdnjs
cdnjs.cloudflare.com		 Bootstrap 5.3.0 grid CSS (layout only). Cloudflare logs request metadata (IP, timestamp, URL) for abuse prevention. CDN resources do not set persistent cookies. Cloudflare Privacy Policy

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, social-media buttons, or analytics tags that set third-party cookies.

5.1 Cookie Banner

The cookie banner appears on your first visit. Clicking Accept or Decline dismisses it for 180 days. If you decline, only the two essential tokens (uw_age_ok and uw_ck_ok) are set — all non-essential consent types remain denied in Google Consent Mode.

5.2 Browser Settings

You can delete or block cookies at any time using your browser's built-in controls:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data.

Deleting uw_age_ok will cause the age gate to reappear on your next visit. Deleting uw_ck_ok will cause the cookie banner to reappear. Both are expected and intended behaviours.

5.3 LocalStorage

To clear the localStorage copies of our tokens, open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to the Application tab, expand "Local Storage", select this site, and delete the keys uw_age_ok, uw_age_ok_exp, uw_ck_ok, and uw_ck_ok_exp.

To be unambiguous, the following tracking technologies are absent from InukshukSpirit:

  • Google Analytics, Universal Analytics, or GA4 measurement tags.
  • Facebook Pixel or any Meta tracking code.
  • Advertising retargeting pixels.
  • Session-replay tools (Hotjar, Clarity, FullStory, etc.).
  • A/B testing frameworks that store visitor IDs.
  • Cross-site tracking identifiers or fingerprinting scripts.

We will update this Cookie Guide whenever we add, change, or remove cookies or storage tokens. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. For material changes, we will display a notice on the homepage.
