Cookie policy

Plausible Analytics provides basic cookieless measurement. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity may set analytics cookies according to the regional policy below. Eligible content pages load advertising by default, independently of your analytics choice; advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies.

Strictly necessary delivery

Our hosting and security infrastructure may use necessary technical storage or request signals to route traffic, mitigate abuse, and keep the service available. These functions are not used by this site to build advertising profiles.

Cookieless Plausible Analytics

Plausible sends page-view and aggregate usage events to plausible.shipsolo.io without placing analytics cookies in your browser. It operates regardless of your optional-analytics choice because it is configured for cookieless aggregate measurement.

Optional Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity

In the European Economic Area (the 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, GA4 and Clarity remain off until you select “Accept.” In other countries both load automatically without an automatic banner unless you previously rejected them. If the region is unknown or the lookup fails, both remain off pending your choice. The host determines the region using Cloudflare’s country metadata, not your language or time zone; the region endpoint does not expose your IP address. Automatic regional permission is not saved as an explicit acceptance, so the region is checked again on a later visit without a saved choice. GA4 may set first-party identifiers such as _ga; Clarity may set _clck and _clsk and record session interactions. We save only your explicit choice under gk2-analytics-consent-v4 in local storage and preserve existing explicit choices in every region. If local storage is unavailable, session storage or a necessary session preference cookie with the same name is used when available. If all preference storage is blocked, your choice can only last for the current page. Use “Analytics choices” in the footer to change your choice; rejecting stops further loading, clears accessible analytics cookies, and reloads the page if they were already running.

Advertising

Eligible content pages may load Adsterra display, native, and Social Bar scripts, frames, and images by default. These providers may use cookies, local storage, IP-derived information, or similar identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention, measurement, and personalization where permitted. Exact cookie names and lifetimes can vary because ads and delivery partners rotate.

Your browser controls

The analytics choice does not control advertising. You can block or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings, use browser tracking protection, or use a content blocker. These controls may reduce personalization or prevent an advertisement from rendering.

Recipe calculator local storage

The calculator uses localStorage, not a cookie, with the key gk2.production.notebook.v1. It saves recipe choices, target, inventory and notes automatically and reads them when you return in the same browser. This is tool storage, separate from the analytics preference and advertising. It persists until changed or removed through browser controls; no time-based expiry is set by the calculator.

Erase text in “Your crafting notes” to save an empty note. To clear the notebook, close the calculator and clear this site's local storage in browser settings; reopening creates a default notebook. Other site preferences may also be cleared. If storage is unavailable, keep a downloaded backup.

Downloaded plan backups include all notes and stored inventory. An imported JSON file is read and previewed locally, not uploaded; applying it replaces the notebook. Sharing is voluntary: a copied plan link stores a snapshot in #plan=, with notes off by default each time the share dialog opens. Notes enter a shared snapshot or checklist only when you choose to include them. Recipients and any social service you open receive the shared contents. Clearing browser storage does not revoke a shared link or delete a downloaded backup. See the privacy policy for the full tool data flow.

Search and forms

The on-site search runs in your browser against a small published-page index. It does not store your search history in local storage. The site currently has no public account, payment, comment, upload, newsletter, or contact form.
