Cookies and local storage are different

A cookie is a small value a browser can send with requests to a website. Local storage keeps values in the browser for that site and does not automatically attach them to web requests. Both can remember choices, and both should be explained clearly.

The supplied site code uses no advertising cookies, analytics cookies, tracking pixels or third-party embedded players. Locally referenced photographs, stylesheets and scripts do not require requests to an external image or font service.

The optional saved choice

If you select “Save Essential Only” below, the browser stores one local-storage entry: shuttermangobexm-cookie-choice, with the value essential. It contains no visitor identifier or contact details. The site script reads it only to display the saved choice on this page.

This is a preference record, not permission for optional tracking. No optional tracking is activated when a choice is absent, and saving or clearing it does not change that. The entry remains until you remove it, clear site data or your browser removes it. It is specific to the current browser and site origin.

This browser’s choice

Saving is voluntary. The journal works the same way if you leave this unset.

What the message tool stores

The scene-note composer does not save drafts in local storage or cookies. Text remains in the open page. Your browser may separately provide autofill or tab restoration. A copied note enters your clipboard, and a downloaded note becomes a file on your device; neither is removed by clearing the preference above.

Browser controls and infrastructure

You can block local storage or delete this site’s data through browser settings. Private browsing may keep a preference only temporarily. If storage is unavailable, the page reports that limitation and the reading content remains accessible.

Hosting infrastructure or a separately deployed service may have its own security or storage behavior outside this static code. Any additional service should be disclosed and assessed before it is enabled. This page describes the functionality included in this website’s files, not an assurance about every possible hosting configuration.
