Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. This policy explains how Polarwafflemonky utilizes browser cookies and local client-side storage technologies.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your device by your web browser when visiting websites. Similar local storage technologies (such as the HTML5 localStorage API) allow client applications to store key-value pairs directly in your browser without transmitting them back to the web server on every HTTP request.
2. Our Minimalist Technical Approach
Unlike advertising-heavy financial media platforms, polarwafflemonky.pro maintains a strictly minimalist tracking posture. We do not use third-party behavioral targeting cookies, retargeting pixels, or surveillance analytics frameworks.
| Category | Storage Key / Name | Lifespan | Specific Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Essential | session_sec_token |
Session Only | Protects against cross-site request forgery and server abuse. |
| Functionality | briefing_draft_cache |
Persistent (Local) | Temporarily retains uncopied draft briefing notes in your local browser. |
| Consent State | consent_status |
12 Months | Records your cookie preference selection so you are not re-prompted. |
3. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have full autonomy over cookie persistence. You can configure your browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge) to reject all cookies, purge existing cookies upon closing your session, or notify you when a cookie is placed.
Please note that disabling strictly essential session storage may subtly impact interactive features such as the Economic Briefing Generator tool.
