Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Cape Shine Car Wash website uses a minimal local storage preference and how that relates to your browsing experience. Cape Shine Car Wash provides professional and reliable car cleaning services in South Africa from 7 Wattle Grove Rd, Pinelands, Cape Town, 7405. We specialize in exterior washing, interior cleaning, and complete vehicle detailing, and we want website visitors to understand that our online setup is intentionally simple. This page describes what is stored, why it is stored, what is not used today, and how you can control browser storage on your own device.
What this website currently stores
This site uses a minimal localStorage preference to remember whether the cookie notice has been acknowledged. The purpose is practical and limited. Once you select the acknowledgement control on the notice, your browser can remember that choice so the banner does not appear on every page refresh during later visits from the same browser profile. The preference is stored on your device rather than in a Cape Shine Car Wash customer account, because this website does not create login profiles or checkout accounts.
Local storage item
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| boardway_cookie_ok | Remembers that the cookie notice was accepted for Cape Shine Car Wash website visits. | Until cleared by the visitor. |
Why a notice preference matters
A notice preference improves comfort for returning visitors who want to browse wash guides, service notes, package formats, and detailing pages without dismissing the same banner repeatedly. It does not track your favourite packages, vehicle history, or booking plans. It does not identify you by name, email, or phone number. If you contact us separately at [email protected] or +27644178558, that conversation is handled through ordinary wash communication tools and is not created by this local storage item. The preference simply records that the notice was acknowledged in the browser you are using.
No analytics cookies currently
No analytics, remarketing, or advertising cookies are used in this static website package. Cape Shine Car Wash is not running paid tracking tags on these pages at this time. We do not use the notice preference to build advertising audiences, retarget visitors across other websites, or measure detailed click paths for marketing automation. If optional analytics are introduced later, the cookie notice and this Cookie Policy should identify them clearly before they are activated. Until then, visitors can treat the current setup as a lightweight informational website for a neighbourhood car wash.
Cookies compared with local storage
People often use the word cookie to describe several kinds of browser storage. Traditional cookies are small text files that websites can set through browser cookie mechanisms. Local storage is another browser feature that can keep a value on the device until it is cleared. This website focuses on a local preference for the notice acknowledgement. Hosting systems may still create ordinary technical logs when pages are requested, but those logs are part of infrastructure operation rather than a marketing cookie package. Understanding this distinction helps customers know that acknowledging the notice is not the same as joining a loyalty database or email list.
Browser controls
You can clear localStorage and cookies through your browser settings at any time. After clearing storage, the Cape Shine Car Wash notice may appear again on your next visit because the browser will no longer remember the previous acknowledgement. You may also use private browsing modes, which often discard temporary storage when the session ends. Browser tools differ by device and software version, so use the privacy or history controls provided by your browser to remove site data for this website. Clearing storage will not cancel an email you already sent to the wash desk and will not delete phone call history kept on your own device.
What acknowledging the notice means
When you choose the acknowledgement control, you are confirming that you have seen the notice about the local preference described on this page. You are not agreeing to advertising tracking that does not exist on the current website package. You are not subscribing to messages. You are not approving the sale of personal data. If you prefer not to store the preference, you can leave the site, clear storage later, or browse with settings that restrict site data. You can still contact Cape Shine Car Wash directly for package advice, detailing questions, and fleet planning without relying on this storage item.
Third-party content and future changes
This static website package is designed to remain simple. If future versions embed maps, video players, social feeds, or analytics tools, those features may set their own cookies or similar technologies according to their own rules. Before such features are added, Cape Shine Car Wash should update this Cookie Policy and the on-site notice so visitors can understand the new storage practices. Until that happens, you should assume that the main visitor-controlled storage item is the notice preference listed above.
Relationship to privacy practices
This Cookie Policy works together with our broader privacy practices for a small service website. The notice preference is intended to reduce repetition, not to profile customers. Direct communications with the wash desk remain separate from browser storage. If you have questions about how a message you sent is handled, include the date and topic when you contact us so we can locate the conversation. We aim to keep explanations plain, practical, and suitable for busy drivers who mainly want clear wash recommendations and reliable service information.
