1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. localStorage is a modern browser feature that allows web applications to store key-value pairs locally on your device without sending them back and forth with every HTTP server request.
SkyMotion.tools minimizes network transmissions by utilizing client-side computing and browser storage exclusively for user-selected settings.
2. Categories of Storage Used on SkyMotion.tools
| Category | Key / Name | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary (Functional) | skymotion-theme | Remembers your visual theme preference (Light, Dark, or System) to prevent screen flicker. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| Necessary (Functional) | cookie-consent | Stores your accepted or rejected cookie preferences so the banner is not repeatedly shown. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| Necessary (Functional) | skymotion-ip-location | Caches the approximate location used by the homepage sunrise example and avoids repeated location requests. | Up to 24 hours (localStorage) |
| Analytics (Optional) | _ga, _ga_* | Reserved preference only. No analytics provider or _ga cookie is currently configured. | Not created in the current configuration |
| Marketing / Affiliate | Amazon Session Tags | The site adds an affiliate identifier to an outbound URL. Amazon may use storage after you leave this site, under Amazon's policy. | 24 hours (on Amazon domain) |
3. Google Consent Mode v2 Compliance
In the current mode, consent signals default to denied and no Google measurement or advertising tag is loaded. Choosing a category records a first-party preference but does not activate a provider that has not been configured.
Future AdSense mode requires both a valid publisher ID and an explicit CMP flag. In that mode, Google's certified CMP—not this site's panel—will manage advertising consent, IAB TCF signals, vendors and revocation. The two interfaces are not displayed together.
