1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by web publishers to make websites function efficiently, retain user preferences, provide analytical insights, and deliver relevant advertisements.

We also utilize modern browser storage technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) to preserve client-side interface state without transmitting tracking identifiers to external servers.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies and web storage mechanisms operating on this website into three distinct categories:

A. Strictly Necessary & Functional Storage (Always Active)

These storage items are essential for the website to function correctly, maintain security, and respect your privacy choices. They do not require prior consent under GDPR/ePrivacy regulations.

  • Consent State (palmate-cookie-preferences): Stored in your browser’s localStorageto remember whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies. Expiration: Persistent until manually cleared.
  • Client Utility State (e.g., Launch Checklist): Stored locally in your browser so you can track checklist progress across sessions without creating an account. This information remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

B. Analytics & Performance Cookies (Opt-In Only)

These cookies allow us to count visits, analyze traffic sources, and evaluate page load performance so we can measure and improve our technical publications and site speed.

  • Google Analytics (if enabled): Sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish unique visitors and throttle request rates using anonymized IP addresses.
  • Status: These cookies remain disabled by default and are activated only if you explicitly choose “Accept Analytics” in our cookie consent banner.

C. Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

This website displays digital advertisements powered by Google AdSense. Google and its certified ad technology partners use cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the web.

  • Google DoubleClick / AdSense Cookies (e.g., __gads, __gpi, IDE): Used to serve contextually relevant ads, limit the number of times you see a specific advertisement, combat invalid ad traffic or click fraud, and gauge the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
  • Personalized Advertising: In regions where consent is required, personalized advertising cookies are managed in conjunction with your user consent choices. You may opt out of personalized ad targeting at any time as described below.
