Cookies and local storage

A plain-language guide to what browser storage means and how the site's local tools differ from tracking.

Effective 1 January 2026

What these technologies do

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a browser and associated with a website. Some are sent with later requests. Local storage is a separate browser mechanism that can retain a preference on a device. Session memory, such as the temporary state used by the contact preview, is different from either of these.

Core site functionality

The editorial pages and their application script do not set advertising or analytics cookies, create tracking identifiers or load third-party analytics. Navigation, scenario tabs, accordions and scroll reveals do not require persistent browser storage. The application script does not save contact fields in cookies or local storage.

If a site-level consent interface is displayed, its preference record may use browser storage to remember your choice. That record is separate from the contact tool and should contain a preference rather than your message. Accepting a consent prompt is not a requirement to read the guides or prepare a local message.

Consent and necessary storage

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential storage or access to information on your device, that processing must not begin before a valid choice. Strictly necessary storage may be used without consent where legally permitted. This notice does not itself grant permission to add trackers, and choosing Accept does not mean you agree to disclose contact-form text.

Changing browser settings

You can inspect and remove cookies and site storage in your browser's privacy or site settings. Clearing a stored consent preference may cause a consent interface to appear again. Private browsing can limit persistence, but does not make network requests anonymous or prevent a separately downloaded file from remaining on your device.

Blocking all storage may affect preferences managed by your browser or a site-level consent interface. The core guides remain readable without JavaScript. The preview, copy and download tool needs JavaScript; you can instead write a general email using the address on Contact.
