Cookie settings

No advertising cookies. No analytics. No tracking pixel, no session recording, no fingerprinting, no profiling, and no third-party scripts of any kind. Nothing on the public pages talks to anyone but our own server.

That is not a promise about the future written vaguely: it is what the site does today, and if it ever changes this page changes with it and the banner will ask you again.

When you answer the banner, we write a single record into your browser’s local storage noting that you answered and when. It contains no identifier, nothing about you, and it never leaves your device. It is stored whichever way you answer, because it is the only way to avoid asking again on every page. That makes it strictly necessary, which is the one category that does not require consent under the UK regulations.

If you mark a stone with the ribbon, its reference is written into a cookie on this device named orea.saved, so the list you keep is still waiting when you come back. It holds stone references only, nothing about you, and it is set only when you put something aside. It lasts twelve months from the last change and is removed the moment you empty the list. Like every cookie it travels with your requests to our own site and to nowhere else, and our server does not read it. It is written only if you allow it on the banner, and only when you put something aside; refuse it and the list lasts as long as the page is open.

Submitting the appointment form is not a cookie, but it is the one moment this site collects anything. What you type is emailed to us through Brevo and filed in our database. The privacy notice sets out exactly what is collected, who processes it and how long it is kept.

You can remove either record above at any time: the answer with the button, the list by emptying it here or on your list page. Your browser’s own settings will clear both along with everything else for this site. Blocking storage entirely also works: the site runs perfectly well without it, the banner will simply ask each visit, and a list will last only as long as the page is open.
