Cookies are small text files downloaded onto your device when you visit most professional websites. These files assist in managing secure user sessions, tracking interface language options, and understanding visitor journey flows.
Cape Truth applies cookies to guarantee platform stability, safe user accounts, secure membership payment verifications, and to evaluate general analytics when explicitly approved by the visitor.
Our cookie implementation adheres to high privacy standard frameworks, using advanced configuration files. When you load our page, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Non-essential tracking services (like Google Analytics, Google Adsense) remain blocked (denied status) until you explicitly click "Accept All" or opt-in via preference settings.
You can adjust these settings at any time by clicking the dedicated "Cookie Settings" option in our page footer. This action instantly re-opens the consent dialog box, allowing you to modify your preferences.
The table below lists the technical categories of tracking components utilized on our platforms:
| Category | Purpose | Associated Consent Signal | Default Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Core site functions and user account storage | security_storage, functionality_storage | Enabled (Granted) |
| Analytics | Anonymized analytics and visitor flows | analytics_storage | Disabled (Denied) |
| Advertising | Re-targeting and displaying interest-based ads | ad_storage, ad_user_data | Disabled (Denied) |
| Cookie Name | Category Classification | Operating Provider | Technical Objective | Retention Term |

In addition to using our website's consent banner, you can configure your browser to reject cookies from all websites. However, disabling all cookies may disrupt necessary site functions, such as member login portals.
Certain dynamic modules (such as the interactive Google Map on our Contact page) may download third-party files. You can review Google's privacy policy separately here: Google Privacy Policy.
We update this policy as technical cookie frameworks scale or as regulatory standards evolve. Updated documents take effect immediately.
