Third-party cookies: When you click an affiliate partner link, the partner site may set its own cookies governed by their respective policies.
3. Managing Your Choices
Manage analytics consent via the cookie banner at the bottom of the page.
Clear all local data through your browser settings (Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Clear site data).
Rejecting analytics does not block the core usage of the Service.
4. Retention
localStorage items persist until you clear them or your browser data. Practical lifetime is the session for most items.
