Cookie & Storage Policy
This page explains what STATION8 Public Market stores in your browser when you visit this website, why we store it, and how to remove it. We’ve kept this short on purpose because the answer is short: we use almost nothing.
1. Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how this website is used, for example which sections people read and which on-page actions they take, so we can improve it. It only loads if you agree to it. When you first visit we ask, and we remember your answer in your browser. If you decline, no analytics script is loaded at all, and nothing is sent to Google.
We do not use advertising pixels, cross-site ad tracking, or session replay. IP addresses are anonymized and Google advertising signals are switched off (allow_google_signals and allow_ad_personalization_signals are both set to false). We do not sell or share this data for advertising.
To change your mind, use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page, which reopens the consent choice. Your decision is kept in this browser’s local storage; clearing your browser’s site data resets it and you will be asked again on your next visit.
2. Local storage (browser-side preferences)
We save a single value in your browser’s localStorage to remember your choice for on-page motion. The technical details:
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime | Sent to a server? |
|---|---|---|---|
station8.motion-toggle | Remembers whether you prefer animations to follow your operating-system setting, always be reduced, or always be full. | Until you clear your browser storage. The site does not set an expiry. | No — it stays on your device. |
This entry is functional. It exists so that a deliberate accessibility choice you make in the footer is honored on your next visit. Removing it has no effect other than resetting that preference to “follow system.”
3. How to clear browser storage
Every modern browser lets you clear cookies and site data. The exact menu varies, but the general path is:
- Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → See all site data → search for our domain → Delete.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for our domain → Remove.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data.
4. Third-party services
Google Analytics (GA4), only after you accept the analytics prompt. It measures page and section views and on-page actions such as directions, booking-form and contact clicks. When we add further features such as embedded maps (Mapbox), an Instagram feed, or a booking form with bot protection, those services may set their own storage. We will update this page before turning any of them on, and we will list each one and what it stores.
5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We do not track visitors across third-party websites over time, so we take no action in response to Do Not Track browser signals. We also do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing for an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control to switch off. The consent choice above (and the footer’s “Cookie settings” link) is how you opt analytics in or out on this site.
