Cookie policy

Echo Forge documents two first-party cookies below for readers who audit small blogs.

ef_consent stores whether you accepted, rejected, or customised embed and preference toggles.

ef_reading saves wall reading size when permitted. It excludes history of mark titles read.

Scope is site-wide path with half-year max age, Lax same-site policy, Secure flag on HTTPS.

Reject all keeps maps dormant except after manual show-map clicks per page view.

Customise exposes preference and embed switches saved by a button outside any form element.

Reopen controls live in the footer and simply display the panel again for edits.

Embed consent may permit Google tile cookies outside my direct control afterward.

No statistic scripts or share buttons ship with these wall templates intentionally.

Incognito windows might forget choices when closed requiring banner repeats.

Do-not-track preferences are not mapped separately because defaults already minimise collection.

Browser anti-fingerprint features may limit persistence without breaking layout legibility.

Locked-down enterprise profiles could block cookies entirely leaving maps inactive.

Inspect stored keys via browser devtools application tab when curious on desktop machines.

Revisions track footer build dates when descriptions must follow code changes.

Questions go to [email protected]; cite echoforgepro.pro so the reply matches this wall.

Compact names limit overhead. Payloads exclude correspondence identifiers.

Clear site data on shared tablets after reading so relatives see default sizing.

Maps allowed by you may create third-party entries under Google documentation.

Future tweaks will be noted here prior to release when timing allows.

Dialog buttons stay reachable by keyboard without trapping focus away from content.

Max-age arithmetic happens in seconds even if UIs show months approximately.

Files are static HTML delivered without PHP execution or visitor session stores.

Cookie table row one: ef_consent, strictly necessary, remembers your cookie choice, written immediately on accept reject or save, lifetime one hundred eighty days, set by this site.

Cookie table row two: ef_reading, preferences, remembers reading comfort size one to three, written only when preferences allowed, lifetime one hundred eighty days, set by this site.

There is no Google Analytics, Tag Manager, advertising pixel, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking on echoforgepro.pro.

Every page shows a neighbourhood map. Switching embedded maps off replaces iframes with placeholders and a show map button for the current visit only.

Clear cookies in browser settings and the banner returns because the record of your choice is gone.

With JavaScript disabled the banner does not appear and this site writes no cookies at all.

A rejection is remembered in the strictly necessary cookie so the question is not asked on every page load.

This is a personal blog. Views are my own and notes are not professional advice.

Accept all sets both preference and embed flags to allowed and hides the banner immediately without reload.

Reject all sets both flags to denied, removes any reading cookie, and hides the banner while remembering the rejection.

Customise reveals reading preferences and embedded maps as separate tick boxes with save controlled by a button outside any form.

Strictly necessary row in the panel is static markup explaining that consent storage is always on; it is not one of the two real inputs.

Reading preferences checkbox defaults off on first open so visitors opt in rather than opt out of storage.

Embedded maps checkbox defaults off on first open for the same reason, though maps render by default until a choice is saved.

Change choices anytime via Cookie choices in the footer.

Reject all still writes the consent cookie so the banner does not repeat every page.

Google Maps cookies are disclosed here and on the privacy page.

No analytics run on this domain.

Strictly necessary storage records reject decisions as well as accept decisions.

Preference storage never tracks which note titles you open on the site.

Embedded maps load by default until you switch them off in the banner or panel.

Show map buttons load tiles for the current visit only without writing new cookies.

Browser private mode may discard values at session end and show the banner again.

Shared devices should clear site data after reading so later users inherit no size preference.

Cookie names stay short to reduce overhead on repeat page requests across the site.

Values exclude email addresses, names, and message content because those fields do not exist here.

Customise opens a panel with two real checkboxes outside any form element as specified.

Save choices writes the combination you selected and hides the banner without reloading.

Footer reopen controls display current values so edits do not require clearing storage first.

Google tile cookies after embed consent fall under Google policies linked from their documentation.

With JavaScript disabled no banner appears and this site writes no cookies on your device.

Mark pages and the wall archive use the same banner markup and engine as every other content page on the domain.
