This policy applies to the website shoreandstone.eu, an independent editorial resource on coastal slope engineering. Contact: info@shoreandstone.eu.
2. What data this site collects
This site does not use server-side databases, user registration, or analytics scripts that identify individual visitors. The contact form on the homepage is a frontend-only simulation and does not transmit data to any server or third party.
2.1 Server logs
Like all web servers, the hosting provider may retain standard access logs (IP address, request path, browser type, date and time). These logs are kept for a limited period for security and operational purposes and are not used for profiling.

This site uses a single first-party cookie preference stored in localStorage (not in a cookie file) to remember your response to the consent banner. No third-party tracking cookies are placed. No advertising networks are used.
3. Legal basis for processing
Server log data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (operating and securing the site). Cookie consent preference is stored locally in your browser and does not involve any server-side processing.

- Access personal data held about you
