What Are Cookies & Storage
Cookies and browser localStorage are small data containers stored on your device. They allow web applications to remember your reading progress, theme preferences, and provide fast client-side searching without requiring recurring server round-trips.
Storage Categories We Utilize
1. Strictly Necessary & Structural
Required for core layout rendering, theme enforcement (locking light theme), and responsive navigation states. These cannot be disabled as the site cannot function properly without them.
2. Functional & Performance
Used to cache guide search indices locally so keyword filtering responds instantly with zero input latency.
3. Analytics (Aggregated & Anonymized)
High-level page visit counts and reading time telemetry without tracking IP addresses or individual user profiles across the web.
