1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone by websites you visit. They allow digital platforms to recognize your device across browsing sessions, recall interface preferences, prevent form abuse, and measure aggregate visitor flow.
In addition to conventional session and persistent cookies, our static website uses browser localStorage to remember whether you accepted or dismissed our cookie consent notification, avoiding unnecessary banner reappearance on each page load.
