Cookie preferences and choices
We believe transparency about storage tokens is an essential component of honest software engineering. This document discloses every cookie and browser storage key used across palsarcticlantrn.garden.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your device by web browsers upon visiting a domain. Modern websites also utilize HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage to preserve interface preferences and operational state between navigation events.
2. Inventory of Storage Tokens
| Identifier | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent_status |
LocalStorage | 12 Months | Records your acknowledged cookie preferences to avoid redisplaying the consent notice. |
session_tool_state |
SessionStorage | Session (tab close) | Maintains your chosen Min/Max bounds across page reloads without dispatching them to a server. |
3. Third-Party Tracking Cookies
We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or behavioral tracking identifiers. We do not participate in cross-site tracking networks. Any analytics events sent to our backend capture solely aggregate interaction counts (e.g., button clicks) without individual fingerprinting.
4. Managing and Clearing Cookies
You can control or erase cookies through your web browser preferences at any time. Consult your browser's documentation for instructions:
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Privacy
Disabling cookies will not hinder your ability to draw random numbers or read our statistics guides, as all computational algorithms execute directly in client-side runtime.
