Cookies and Local Storage
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website places in your browser. Local storage is a related mechanism that lets a site keep a value in your browser without a file. Both can persist after you leave the page. This page lists every storage item this site actually uses.
A note on Taiwan’s law
Taiwan has no dedicated cookie statute. The consent banner on this site is therefore our own practice, not a legal mandate imposed by Taiwanese law. We offer it because we believe a clear accept-or-reject choice is the right thing to provide, not because a specific statute requires it.
Storage this site actually uses
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gpi_consent_granite-pilot.digital | Local storage | Records your accept/reject choice so the banner is not shown again | Until you clear browser data or change the value | This site (first-party) |
That is the complete inventory. There are no analytics cookies on this site, because there is no analytics. There are no advertising or third-party cookies, because no advertising or third-party scripts run here.
What the banner controls
Because there are no non-essential technologies running on this site, the banner controls a single thing: whether the banner itself is shown again. Accepting and rejecting have the same practical effect on what the site does — the only difference is the value stored in your browser, and the fact that rejecting keeps the banner hidden without implying consent to tracking that does not exist.
How to change or withdraw your choice
To change your choice, clear the gpi_consent_granite-pilot.digital entry from your browser’s local storage for this domain, or clear your browser’s stored data for this site. The banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also disable local storage in your browser settings; the site continues to work, and the banner simply reappears on each visit because no preference can be saved.
Impact of disabling storage
If you block local storage, the only effect is that the consent banner will reappear on each visit. No functionality is lost: every article is readable, the inquiry form works, and no feature is gated behind the stored preference.
No third-party usage
No third party reads or writes storage on this site. See our Privacy Policy for how inquiry data is handled.
