1. What Cookies & Local Storage Are

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device; local storage is a similar browser feature. They let a site remember choices and understand usage. GoldenKey uses a deliberately small set — no advertising networks, no cross-site tracking, no sale of data.

2. What We Use

Strictly necessary (always on) — session continuity for forms and security features; your cookie-consent choice itself.
Preference storage — remembering that you've seen the offer popup this session.
Analytics (only with consent) — a random visitor ID and session ID in your browser's storage powering our first-party visitor analytics: pages viewed, clicks, scroll depth, time on page, referral source and device type. No third-party analytics scripts are used.

On your first visit we show a consent banner. Choosing Accept enables analytics; choosing Decline keeps analytics fully off — the site works identically either way.

To change your choice later, clear this site's data in your browser settings; the banner reappears on your next visit. Declining after accepting stops all further analytics immediately.
