Commonbyte does not set browser cookies in the supplied code. There is no analytics or advertising integration. The privacy panel controls browser localStorage, which is a different storage mechanism from cookies.
Necessary preference record
The key commonbyte:consent:v1 records your chosen storage setting, policy version and timestamp. It is created after you select an option, so the panel can remember the choice. It is treated as expired after 180 days on the next visit or check.
Optional tool records
Keys beginning with commonbyte:tool: hold the settings or progress you use in this publication’s tools. They are written only while optional storage is allowed. They do not contain account credentials, advertising identifiers or a contact form submission.
Change your mind
Use “Necessary only” to remove saved optional progress while keeping the consent preference. The erase control deletes both and reloads the page with a fresh preference choice. Denying optional storage does not block any article or tool.
Files saved on purpose
An export button creates a text file on your device only when you click it. Clearing browser storage does not delete files you have downloaded. No automatic file downloads occur.
Changes after deployment
A host, security layer or future integration could add cookies or processing not present in these files. The operator must review those additions and update both the policy and actual controls. A banner alone does not establish legal compliance.
