Cookies & browser storage

Optional means optional.

Silktide stores your consent choices in your browser. The site also remembers a theme you explicitly choose. These preferences are not sent as analytics events.

Analytics

Only after analytics consent, and only if a Google Analytics property is configured, Google’s tag may set cookies such as _ga to measure usage. We do not load that tag before consent. Advertising and personalization functions are not enabled by this application.

External maps and device comparison

Map consent is independent of analytics consent. Enabling it allows your browser to fetch map images from the map provider; those requests disclose your network IP and requested areas even when no analytics cookie is set. Map consent does not grant browser location permission or automatically request device location.

The optional one-time comparison does not store device coordinates in cookies or local storage. It keeps them only in page memory until you hide the device location, withdraw map consent or leave the page. Your browser may separately remember its location permission; manage that permission in browser settings. Read the location privacy details.

Refusing optional services does not prevent IP display or database lookups. If your browser blocks local storage, optional integrations fail closed.
