Cookie Policy
This policy explains how The Peaceful Soul ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technology on this website, and the choices you have. We have kept this to a minimum: the site uses no advertising or tracking cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files a website can store on your device. Similar technologies (like your browser's "local storage") work in much the same way. Some are essential for a site to work; others are optional.
What this site actually uses
Strictly necessary (always on).
- When you choose "Accept" or "Decline" on our cookie banner, we remember your choice in your browser's local storage so we do not keep asking. We also remember if you have already seen our mailing-list popup. This information stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
- The staff admin area (not the public site) uses a single secure sign-in cookie so Detzi can log in. It is only set if you log in as staff.
Optional (only with your consent).
- Google Maps. Our contact and home pages can show a Google map. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads, so the map does not load until you accept optional cookies. Until then we show a simple placeholder with a plain link to Google Maps instead. You can load it with one tap.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner gives you a clear choice to accept or decline optional cookies. Nothing optional (such as the Google map) loads unless you accept. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which will bring the banner back on your next visit.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies and site data through their settings. Blocking essential items may stop parts of the site working.
