Cookies & Similar Tech

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Island Keeper Media LTD. uses cookies and similar technologies on the website, including limited storage or integrity tools used for the next-cleanup participation flow.

No public analytics

The public website does not currently activate website analytics or advertising trackers.

Essential site functions

Some cookies or storage items are used only where needed to operate restricted access, remember a direct interaction, or protect a feature against misuse.

Cleanup integrity

The next-cleanup participation feature may use limited browser storage, cookies, and integrity checks to reduce duplicate or automated counts.

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small data files stored in your browser or device. Similar technologies can include local browser storage, session identifiers, and integrity or anti-abuse tools that help a website function correctly.

Not every technology works in the same way, but they can serve related purposes such as security, remembering an interaction, or supporting a specific site feature.

What we currently use

The website currently uses a limited set of cookies or similar technologies tied to specific functionality rather than broad tracking.

These technologies may appear only when a relevant feature is used, such as restricted admin access or the next-cleanup page.

For the next-cleanup participation feature, the participation identifiers are created only after you accept the feature notice.

  • Authentication and session technologies for restricted admin access.
  • A participation cookie on the next-cleanup feature to help identify whether a browser has already counted in after you accept the feature notice.
  • Local browser storage on the next-cleanup page to support the integrity of the public counter after you accept the feature notice.
  • Limited browser or device integrity signals used to reduce automated or duplicate submissions where that feature is enabled.

Why we use them

We use these technologies to operate the website safely and to support requested interactions.

Examples include maintaining a secure session, preventing abuse, protecting public participation features, and remembering a direct interaction that affects how a feature behaves for the same browser.

What we do not currently use

The public website does not currently activate marketing tags, retargeting tools, or public analytics scripts for visitor measurement.

If optional analytics, advertising, or other consent-based tools are introduced later, this policy will be updated and the site flow will be reviewed accordingly.

Managing cookies and browser storage

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear browser storage. You can usually do this through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling essential technologies may affect restricted access or may stop the next-cleanup participation feature from working as intended.

You can also use the participation controls on this page to withdraw consent for the next-cleanup counter, clear the related participation cookies, and request removal of the associated counter record for the current browser where available.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if site functionality changes or if new technologies are introduced.

The effective date at the top of this page shows the latest version currently published.

Cleanup Participation Controls

If you previously accepted the next-cleanup participation notice, you can withdraw that consent here. This clears the related participation cookies and removes the local browser identifier from this device. If the current browser can still be matched to a cleanup counter record, that participation entry is also removed.
