Cookie Policy

The dss-theme local storage entry remembers your light or dark display preference until you clear browser storage. The architecture checklist does not persist selections. Neither is used for analytics.

When analytics is enabled, dss-analytics-consent-v1 in local storage remembers acceptance or rejection for 180 days. This preference is used to respect your choice, not to measure readership. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice applies to the current page only.

Google Analytics 4 is available only if you choose Accept analytics. Before acceptance, no Google Analytics tag is loaded and no analytics data is sent. The _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies distinguish browsers and maintain session information, with a configured lifetime of up to 180 days. They are not used here for advertising.

Where available, use Analytics settings in the footer to accept or reject at any time. Rejecting after acceptance removes this site's GA cookies and reloads the page to stop tracking. You can also clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser. Analytics remains optional, and all content works without it.

No advertising cookies or advertising pixels are configured. Google Fonts and hosting services may process connection information as described in the privacy notice. Search Console domain verification uses a DNS record, not a browser cookie.
