This Cookie Policy explains how Carnivalsortspark Marine Exploration & Research Ltd. uses cookies and web storage technologies on carnivalsortspark.com to deliver a responsive, secure oceanographic archive portal.

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you load websites. Local storage (`localStorage`) is an HTML5 technology that enables web applications to store key-value data persistently inside your browser without expiring during single sessions.

2. Specific Storage Elements We Use

carnival_cookie_consent: Key stored in `localStorage` when you select "Accept All" or interact with the cookie banner. This ensures the consent pop-up does NOT reappear every time you visit or navigate our sub-pages.
Session Security Tokens: Essential temporary session state cookies that protect interactive search forms from CSRF attacks.

3. Managing Cookie Preferences

You can adjust your browser settings to decline all non-essential cookies or clear your local storage at any time. To clear stored preferences for Carnivalsortspark, open your browser's developer tools (F12) -> Application -> Local Storage -> Clear `carnivalsortspark.com` data.
