Cookie Policy & Storage Architecture
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. This policy provides a comprehensive, transparent inventory of all local storage keys, session markers, and cookies deployed across Listcapsuleroms.pics.
1. What Are Cookies and Client Storage?
A cookie is a small text string written to your computer or mobile hardware when you navigate web portals. In addition to HTTP cookies, contemporary web browsers utilize localStorage and sessionStorage structures to maintain state without transmitting headers back and forth across every single static resource request. We employ these mechanisms strictly to retain interface configurations and user consent records.
2. Exhaustive Inventory of Active Storage Elements
| Key / Cookie Name | Type / Mechanism | Lifespan | Purpose & Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| site_cookie_preference | Local Storage Key | Persistent (365 days) | Strictly Essential: Stores your explicit consent decision ("accept" or "reject") so that you are not re-prompted on every subsequent page load. |
| __cf_bm | HTTP Cookie (Cloudflare) | 30 minutes | Strictly Essential: Manages web application firewall bot mitigation and rate-limiting across our content distribution perimeter. |
| arch_theme_prefs | Local Storage Key | 180 days | Functional: Remembers user preferences regarding architectural diagram contrast and technical layout density. |
3. Classification Framework
- Strictly Necessary: Required for the fundamental delivery and security of the website. These items do not track personal habits across external domains and cannot be turned off without rendering basic functionality inoperative.
- Functional Elements: Used exclusively to remember voluntary choices, such as diagram view settings and table filter states.
- Marketing / Advertising: Listcapsuleroms.pics does not deploy advertising tracking pixels, third-party remarketing tags, or cross-site tracking beacons.
4. How to Exercise Browser Opt-Out Controls
You can manage, restrict, or purge cookies through your browser's internal preference center. Please note that blocking essential storage keys will result in the consent banner reappearing on each subsequent navigation:
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom.
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies → Block third-party cookies.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
