1. Nature of Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are compact text files placed onto your device by a web server during site visits. Local storage (`localStorage`) is a related browser mechanism allowing websites to store key-value data directly inside your client application without transmitting that data on every HTTP header exchange.
At sortboardbuddiesb.asia, we utilize local storage solely to retain your consent state and preserve functional UI preferences across internal page navigations.
2. Comprehensive Cookie Classification Schedule
The table below discloses every data token utilized on this domain, its formal purpose, and expiration lifespan:
| Category | Purpose | Storage Key / Example | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Stores the visitor's cookie consent choice (`accept`, `reject`, or `preferences`). Required to prevent the consent banner from re-rendering on every page load. | ect_cookie_choice |
Persistent (Up to 365 Days) |
| Functional | Caches interface view preferences such as mobile navigation drawer states or form focus points. | ect_ui_prefs |
Session / 30 Days |
| Analytics | Aggregated page hit counter strictly if explicitly enabled. No third-party profiling IDs or cross-domain trackers are loaded. | ect_session_metric |
Session Only (Cleared upon browser exit) |
3. Third-Party Tracker Absence Notice
This domain does not implement third-party tracking scripts, commercial ad pixels, social platform share trackers, or programmatic audience profiling beacons. External tracking cookies are prohibited on sortboardbuddiesb.asia by organizational design.

However, your consent choice cannot be saved, resulting in the bottom consent banner rendering upon every fresh page navigation.
