Cookie notice

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies let a site remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already dismissed a notice — and are widely used to make websites work more efficiently. Similar technologies (local storage, session storage) work the same way and are covered by this notice.

2. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as dismissing the cookie banner.

• ws_cookies — local-storage flag that records your acknowledgement of this notice so the cookie banner does not reappear on every visit. Stored on your device only; never transmitted to our servers.

Analytics (optional)

We do not currently load any analytics or marketing cookies. If we add them in the future, they will only be activated after you give explicit consent through the cookie banner, and this notice will be updated to list them.

3. Managing cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept all or essential-only categories.
• Clear cookies and site data for whitestein.com in your browser settings to reset your preferences; the banner will then reappear on your next visit.
• Configure your browser to block or warn about cookies generally. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how parts of the Site behave.

4. Server logs

Independently of cookies, our hosting infrastructure records standard request information (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and reliability purposes. These logs are retained for up to 90 days. See the Privacy notice for details.

5. Changes

We update this notice whenever the set of cookies on the Site changes. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change.
