1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer or mobile device when accessing web applications. Similarly, Modern HTML5 Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) enables client-side preservation of preferences without transmitting redundant data payloads with every server round-trip.
2. Our Zero-Ad Philosophy
We do not deploy third-party advertising retargeters, cross-site trackers, Facebook Pixels, or commercial data mining beacons. Our use of storage mechanisms is restricted solely to operational performance, interface responsiveness, and route filter caching.
