Cookie policy
What this site keeps in your browser, why, and for how long. It covers cookies and local storage alike, and how to clear either from your own browser.
This page explains what is stored in your browser when you visit the site, what for, and for how long. It covers both cookies and local storage, since both keep information on your device.
What we do not do
The site carries no analytics, no advertising, no social-network pixels and no tracking of any kind. We do not build a profile of you, do not follow you across websites, and do not share information with third parties. Even the fonts are served from our own site, so visiting makes no request to any outside server. The one exception is the video on the ring metals page: it shows a still picture until you press play, and only then loads from YouTube, which sets cookies of its own.
What is stored
| Name | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE (cookie) | Remembers the language you chose in the language switcher, so the site opens in it next time. Written only when you choose a language yourself. | One year |
| suggested_locale (cookie) | Holds a language code only, so the site can offer you a version that may suit you better, based on the country you arrived from and your browser’s language settings. Contains no identifier. | 30 minutes |
| locale_suggest_dismissed (cookie) | Remembers that you dismissed the language suggestion, so it does not reappear. Written only when you dismiss it. | One year |
| gemsguide:a11y (local storage) | Stores the accessibility settings you chose: text size, high contrast and link underlining. Written only when you change a setting. | Until you clear it |
Why there is no consent banner
Everything above is either necessary for the site to work or exists to remember a choice you made yourself. Storage of that kind is exempt from the requirement to ask for prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive, so we do not show a consent dialog that would have nothing real to approve. If we ever add measurement tools or any non-essential storage, we will ask for your consent first and load nothing until you agree.
How to remove it
You can delete all of the above at any time through your browser settings, and you can block cookies in advance. Blocking them does not stop you reading the site, but it will not remember your language or your accessibility settings. The accessibility settings alone can also be reset from the accessibility menu at the top of every page.
