Legal / Cookies and browser storage

Cookies and your choices

The supplied website code does not set tracking cookies or load analytics. A preference can be stored locally if you choose.

Policy date: 2026

Cookies and localStorage are different

Cookies are small values that a browser can send to a server with requests. localStorage holds values on a device for scripts on the same website origin. Both can remember preferences, but localStorage values are not automatically attached to every page request.

The website’s own JavaScript does not create cookies. It uses localStorage only when you press a preference button on this page. There are no optional analytics, advertising or personalization scripts in the supplied code, regardless of which choice you make.

What is stored?

Storage used by the supplied website code
KeyPurposeDuration
vorkad-cookie-preferenceRemembers “accepted” or “essential” on this browser and website originUntil you clear it, clear site data or the browser removes it

The preference is not a personal identifier and is not uploaded by this script. The contact composer does not save message entries to localStorage. Its plain-text download is a file you choose to create.

Your browser preference

Accepting records your choice only; it does not activate tracking. “Essential only” is sufficient for every feature on this site.

Enable JavaScript to view or change a saved preference.

Browser and hosting controls

You can block or remove cookies and site storage in your browser. Blocking localStorage prevents preference persistence but does not stop you reading the website. Private browsing sessions may discard stored values when the session ends.

Hosting security or delivery infrastructure may use mechanisms outside the static page code. You can inspect cookies in your browser’s site-information controls. This page describes the storage implemented by these files, not the practices of external websites you choose to visit.
