Cookie Policy
Quick Summary:

localStorageonly to remember your privacy choices. - No third-party tracking or advertising pixels are installed on this site.

1. Local Storage Usage
Rhetoricbyte does not deploy cookies (small text files stored by the browser). Instead, we utilize the HTML5 localStorage API. This technology allows the website to store a small amount of data locally on your device to ensure that your preferences—specifically regarding privacy and consent—are remembered during subsequent visits.
This approach is used exclusively to avoid repeatedly showing the consent banner once you have made a choice, thereby improving the user experience without compromising your privacy.

2. Data Categories
Our consent management system recognizes five categories of data processing, although currently, only the "Necessary" category is active:
- Necessary: Essential for the technical operation of the site (e.g., consent storage). These cannot be disabled.
- Functional: Used to remember site settings. (Currently inactive).
- Analytics: Used to understand visitor behavior. (Currently inactive).
- Marketing: Used for targeted advertising. (Currently inactive).
- Personalization: Used to tailor content to the user. (Currently inactive).
As stated in our Privacy Policy, we do not share this local data with third parties.
3. Management of Consent
You have full control over the data stored in your browser. To reopen the consent settings and modify your choices, you may use the dedicated button located in the website footer:
Alternatively, you may clear your browser's cache and local storage through your browser settings, which will reset all preferences and prompt the consent banner to appear again.
4. Legal Basis and Compliance
This policy is designed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). We adhere to the principles of transparency and minimal data collection. Our processing of consent data is necessary for the legitimate interest of providing a functional website and respecting the user's expressed privacy will.
