1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text strings placed on your device by web servers to remember authentication states, regional preferences, and session diagnostics. Local storage is an HTML5 browser capability allowing web applications to store key-value data persistently on your personal device without sending that data to the web server with every asset request.
2. How We Employ Web Storage
Reelroostjollyfed prioritizes data minimization. We do not use intrusive cross-site behavioral tracking cookies, commercial retargeting beacons, or persistent advertising pixels. Our platform uses cookies and browser local storage strictly for functional operational continuity and privacy choice persistence.
