Essential-only by default, with optional preference storage only.
Essential-only by default. This build does not activate advertising cookies, analytics cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting libraries, or third-party personalization scripts. The only storage that may be used by default is storage that is strictly necessary to remember the visitor’s privacy choice and the legal-gate acknowledgement.
Optional preference storage, for example remembering the active universe or chart horizon, is separated from the essential-only mode and is available only if the visitor chooses to allow it.
| Category | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Essential local storage | On | Stores the privacy choice and legal acknowledgement so the site can remember them. |
| Preference local storage | Optional | Stores display preferences only if the visitor actively enables it. |
| Analytics cookies / SDKs | Off | Not active in this version. |
| Advertising cookies / SDKs | Off | Not active in this version. |
The site starts in essential-only mode. Visitors can choose to allow preference storage. The choice can be changed at any time by opening the cookie settings control on the site.
For jurisdictions that require consent for non-essential storage, this design keeps the site in the safest possible mode until the visitor makes a clear choice.
Before turning on ads, audience measurement, embedded third-party widgets, or any other non-essential storage, you must complete a new cookie audit, update this notice and the privacy notice, and implement a consent mechanism that is as easy to refuse as it is to accept where the applicable law requires that standard.
