Cookie Policy

Overview

Respite is a curated informational gaming hub designed to offer thoughtfully designed micro-breaks for young professionals. This cookie policy explains how we use cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our site at focusbreakdiag.pro.

We are committed to transparency and minimal data collection. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, payment processing, or gambling purposes. Our approach prioritises your privacy while enabling core functionality.

What Are Cookies and Browser Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which allow websites to store data locally on your device for future visits.

At Respite, we use browser storage only to remember your preferences and choices, ensuring a consistent experience across your visits.

How We Use Cookies and Storage

Respite uses localStorage exclusively to store your cookie banner preference. When you interact with our cookie consent notice, we remember your choice so you are not prompted repeatedly on subsequent visits.

This storage is:

• Non-tracking and non-identifying
• Stored only on your device
• Used solely to respect your privacy preferences
• Not shared with third parties

We do not set cookies for analytics, advertising, user accounts, or session tracking unless you have explicitly consented to optional analytics services. Any such consent is managed through your cookie banner interaction.

Third-Party Services

Respite partners with GameMonetize to deliver game content. GameMonetize operates independently and may set its own cookies or storage mechanisms in accordance with its privacy practices. We encourage you to review GameMonetize's privacy policy for details about their data handling.

Our relationship with GameMonetize is limited to content delivery. We do not share personal data with GameMonetize beyond what is necessary for game functionality.

Analytics and Optional Data Collection

Respite may use optional, privacy-respecting analytics services to understand how visitors use our site and to improve the quality of our service. Any such analytics are:

• Entirely optional and require your explicit consent
• Anonymised and aggregated
• Not used to build individual user profiles
• Not shared with advertisers or marketing platforms

You can withdraw consent for analytics at any time by clearing your browser storage or adjusting your cookie preferences.

Your Rights and Choices

Changing Your Cookie Preference: You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and revisiting our site. Your cookie banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new selection.

Clearing Browser Storage: Most browsers allow you to view and delete stored data. Instructions vary by browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear Browsing Data → Cookies and Other Site Data
• Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Clear Browsing Data

Disabling Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of some websites. Respite will continue to function, but you may see our cookie banner on every visit.

Data Retention

Your cookie preference is stored indefinitely until you manually clear your browser's localStorage or change your preference. We do not retain analytics data for longer than necessary to serve our operational and quality-improvement purposes, typically 12 months or less.

Children and Young Users

Respite is designed for young professionals and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have stored data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the bottom of this page and, where appropriate, by displaying a prominent notice on our site.
