What SIA stores in your browser, what needs consent, and how to control it.
SIA uses your browser's local storage rather than tracking cookies for its core features. We store: your session (to keep you signed in), language, appearance theme, favorites, and — if you allow it — an analytics identifier.
Session, language, theme and favorites are strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for and do not require consent. Without them the site cannot remember your sign-in or preferences.
With your consent we collect privacy-friendly, aggregate usage statistics (which pages and features are used) to improve the product. These never build advertising profiles and are not shared for marketing. You can accept or decline in the cookie banner, and change your mind any time by clearing site data.
Our payment provider may set its own cookies during checkout to process payment securely and prevent fraud; those are governed by the provider's own policy. Images and logos loaded from external CDNs do not set cookies but do reveal your IP to the host, as with any web image.
Decline analytics in the banner to opt out. To remove everything stored, clear this site's data in your browser settings; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
