3. Storage Technologies: Comprehensive Overview
| Key | Category | Full Purpose Description | Legal Basis (EU) | Data Stored | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
hpm_cookie_consent |
Strictly Necessary — Consent Management | Stores the user's response to the cookie consent banner displayed on first visit to elgazettario.com. Without this item, the consent banner would be displayed on every single page view, creating an unreasonable user experience. The item enables the website to honour the user's stated preference consistently and avoids unnecessary repeated consent requests. It contains no personal identifier, no tracking data, and is not transmitted to any server or third party. It is accessible only by scripts served from elgazettario.com. | §25(2) No. 2 TDDDG: strictly necessary for the provision of the telemedia service explicitly requested by the user (consent management). Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive strictly necessary exemption. Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for any incidental personal data processing (legitimate interest: delivering a functional consent management interface). | String value only: "accepted" or "declined". No personal data beyond this minimal preference indicator. | Persistent (browser session and beyond); user-controlled deletion via browser settings |
No other cookies, localStorage items, sessionStorage items, IndexedDB entries, or equivalent storage mechanisms are set by elgazettario.com or by any third party through our Website.
4. Consent Mechanism and Future Changes
On your first visit to elgazettario.com, you are presented with a consent banner. As we currently use only strictly necessary storage, this banner is primarily for transparency rather than to obtain consent for non-essential cookies. The banner informs you of our single localStorage item and gives you the option to acknowledge or decline, recording your choice in the hpm_cookie_consent item.
Should we introduce any non-strictly-necessary storage technologies (e.g., analytics, personalisation) in the future, we will update this policy and implement a granular consent mechanism that allows you to separately consent to or decline each category. We will not set non-essential items without your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, consistent with Article 4(11) and Article 7 GDPR and the requirements of §25(1) TDDDG.

7. International Applicability
This Cookie Policy is designed to meet cookie and local-storage disclosure requirements beyond the EU/EEA as well, including the CCPA/CPRA (California), the UK GDPR, the LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia), the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (India), and the Personal Information Protection Act (South Korea). Because we use only a single, strictly necessary local-storage item and the cookie-less Vercel Web Analytics tool described above, no additional jurisdiction-specific cookie consent obligations arise beyond what is already described in this policy.
