Cookie Policy
A straightforward explanation of how Synaptia uses browser storage on this site.
What Synaptia Uses
Synaptia uses only essential browser storage — specifically the browser's localStorage — for a single, limited purpose: to remember whether you have acknowledged the cookie notice displayed when visiting the site for the first time. This prevents the notice from appearing repeatedly after you have already responded to it.
No traditional HTTP cookies are set by the Synaptia domain. The localStorage entry used by this site stores only a brief preference string (for example, synaptia_cookie_consent: accepted or synaptia_cookie_consent: declined). This entry remains local to your browser and is never transmitted to any server.
What Synaptia Does Not Use
The following technologies are not used on this site:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar platforms)
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Third-party tracking pixels or tag managers
- Session recording or heatmap tools
- Social media tracking scripts or embedded social widgets
- Marketing cookies of any kind
- Persistent user identification of any form
Purpose and Data Collected
The sole purpose of the localStorage entry is functional: to store your one-time response to the site's cookie notice. This entry does not contain personal data, does not identify you as an individual, and is not used to track your behavior on this or any other site. It is limited in scope to UI state management.
Managing Your Preferences
You can clear the stored preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage through your browser settings. In most browsers, this is accessible via Settings → Privacy & Security → Site Data or similar. Clearing this entry will cause the cookie notice to reappear on your next visit.
Note that disabling or clearing localStorage through browser settings may affect only this UI element on the site and does not alter your access to any content, as Synaptia's content is static and freely accessible regardless of storage state.
External Resources
Synaptia loads Google Fonts via a stylesheet request to Google's servers. This is a standard web font delivery method. Synaptia does not receive any data from this interaction, though Google's own network infrastructure processes the font request. You may review Google's privacy practices separately if this is relevant to you.
Updates
If this Cookie Policy is revised, the updated version will be published here with a new date. Because this site does not use cookies beyond the single essential localStorage item described above, significant changes to this policy are unlikely.
