Cookies and Device Storage

A plain-language explanation of cookies and local browser storage used by the site.

Public site

The theme preference uses local browser storage so the site can remember whether you chose the dark or light appearance. The household assessment, kit builder and water storage planner save answers only when you choose Save on this device. Their Load, Export and Clear controls manage that copy. A saved water plan may include storage locations. Other calculators do not save answers.

Your Analytics choice is stored on this device. Basic audience counts use a device-storage choice so you can object simply. Detailed Analytics adds a random device identifier and a temporary visit identifier only after you allow it. Stop all analytics or change levels with Cookie choices in the footer. A browser global privacy control signal is treated as an objection.

No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are included in this build.

The private owner area uses a strictly necessary session cookie for sign-in and security. Public visitors do not receive that Admin session cookie.
