Fieldnotes / Cookies and local storage
Your preference stays with your browser
01 / The context
The preview sets no analytics or advertising cookies and includes no optional tracking tools. Optional storage is off by default. Essential local storage remembers adult confirmation and your preference selection so the same questions need not be repeated on every page. These values stay in the current browser profile; they are not sent to a site account.
02 / What this means
Choose Reject optional to record a rejected preference, or Accept optional to record acceptance. Acceptance does not install a tracker or load an external service. Settings opens a keyboard-accessible dialog where you can inspect and save the optional preference. The settings button in the footer lets you revisit this decision at any time.
03 / Practical limits
If browser storage is blocked, choices can apply to the current page but may not survive navigation or reopening. Clearing site data removes both stored values. Any future optional feature needs a separate implementation review and an accurate explanation before it can use this choice.
