What This Site Uses
Porch and Paper uses browser localStorage — not traditional cookies — to store your cookie consent preference. This value is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server.
This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies. No third-party cookie-based tracking is present on this site.
localStorage Usage
When you interact with the cookie consent banner on the homepage, your choice (Accept or Reject) is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key pap_cookie_choice. This prevents the banner from being shown on subsequent visits. The stored value is a text string ("accepted" or "rejected") and contains no personal information.
Third-Party Resources
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Google may set cookies or use other tracking mechanisms in connection with its font delivery service. Wikimedia Commons image resources may similarly involve third-party storage. Porch and Paper does not control the cookie practices of these third-party services.
Clearing Stored Preferences
You can clear the stored cookie preference by clearing your browser's localStorage data for this site through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. On most browsers, this is accessible through Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cached images and files / Site data.
