1. What Are Cookies and Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you access a website. Modern web standards also utilize browser-based storage mechanisms such as LocalStorage to store user preferences locally without transmitting data back to the web server on every individual page request.
2. Our Classification of Cookies
We classify cookies and storage keys used on this domain into three operational categories:
- Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for the platform to function securely, render requested pages, and manage user consent status. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional Storage: Remembers your preferences (such as reduced motion settings or interface choices) to provide a consistent viewing experience.
- Analytics & Diagnostics: Collects anonymized, aggregated traffic data (such as page visit volumes and broken link detection) without profiling individual user identity.
