Cookie Policy

The short version

This site sets no cookies at all. It stores exactly one item in your browser, in local storage rather than in a cookie, and that item records whether you have already answered the storage notice.

There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, no session cookies, no third party cookies, no tracking pixels, no web beacons, no fingerprinting, and no embedded widgets from other companies that could set anything of their own. That is not a marketing claim. It is a description of a site that loads its stylesheet, its script, its fonts and its photographs from its own domain and nothing from anywhere else.

The complete inventory

`kt_shore_notice_v2`

• Type: local storage entry, not a cookie
• Set by: kruegertravel.com, this site itself
• Contents: one short word, either `all` or `minimum`, recording which button you pressed
• Purpose: so the storage notice stays closed once you have answered it
• Lifetime: until you clear site data for this domain or delete the entry yourself
• Transmitted anywhere: no, local storage is never attached to network requests
• Can the site work without it: yes, the only consequence is that the notice appears again on your next visit

That is the entire inventory. Nothing else is written to your browser by this site.

What the difference between a cookie and local storage means for you

The distinction matters in practice rather than only in terminology.

A cookie is attached to every request your browser makes to the domain that set it, so a cookie travels back to a server continuously in the background. A local storage entry does not. It is written by a script running on the page, it is read by that same script, and it never leaves your device unless a script deliberately sends it somewhere. This one is never sent anywhere.

That is why the storage notice on this site is worded as a notice rather than as a consent request. There is nothing here that requires consent under the rules that govern advertising and tracking storage, because there is no advertising or tracking storage. Pressing either button on the notice produces the same practical outcome for your privacy: nothing is enabled by one and nothing extra is disabled by the other. The two buttons exist so the record of your answer is honest about which you chose, in case that ever matters.

What third parties are involved

None while you are reading.

No fonts are loaded from a font service: the two typefaces used here are served from this domain. No script is loaded from a content delivery network. No map, video player, comment system, social button, or share widget appears anywhere on the site, and those are the usual routes by which another company's storage arrives on a page that claims not to have any.

One third party is involved at a single moment, and only if you act. When you submit the contact form or the reader note form, the contents are passed to a form delivery service which relays them to the publisher's mailbox. That request happens only on submission, it carries the information you typed, and it does not place anything in your browser. If you never submit a form, no request ever leaves this domain.

Server logs are not browser storage

Your browser sends an internet protocol address and some technical details with every request, and the hosting provider keeps those in short lived server logs. That happens for every website in existence and cannot be switched off by a site, because it is how a request reaches a server at all.

Server logs are not stored on your device, are not readable by this site's scripts, and are typically discarded by the provider within thirty days. The Privacy Policy describes them in more detail.

How to inspect this yourself

You do not have to take any of the above on trust, and checking takes about a minute.

Open your browser's developer tools, usually with the F12 key or from the developer menu, and go to the storage or application panel. Under local storage for this domain you will find the single entry named above and nothing else. Under cookies for this domain you will find nothing at all.

The network panel will show you every request the page makes. On this site all of them point at kruegertravel.com, which is the check that actually matters, because a site cannot receive third party storage without first making a third party request.

How to remove it

Clearing site data for kruegertravel.com in your browser settings removes the entry. Deleting the single key from the local storage panel in developer tools does the same thing more precisely.

Private or incognito browsing discards it when you close the window. A browser configured to block storage entirely will also work: the script is written to carry on without it, and the only effect is that the notice appears on each visit because there is nowhere to record your answer.

Any of these options leaves the site fully functional. Nothing on kruegertravel.com is behind storage, because there are no accounts, no preferences, and no basket to remember.

If this ever changes

If advertising, audience measurement, or any other form of tracking were introduced in future, this page would be rewritten before anything was placed in your browser rather than after. It would name each item, say who sets it, what it contains, how long it lasts, and how to refuse it, and the notice on the site would become a genuine consent request rather than an informational one.

The revision date at the top of this page records when it was last accurate. If that date looks old, it is because nothing has changed.
