Cookies and localStorage are different
A cookie is browser data that may be included in requests to a website. localStorage is a separate browser storage mechanism. This website uses localStorage only when you choose a preference below. Its scripts do not transmit that preference to a server.
What the preference stores
| Item | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
fjord-consent | Records either accepted or essential in localStorage. | Until you change it, clear site data or the browser removes it. |
The value is not a unique visitor identifier. It does not store a name, email address, wildlife observation or contact draft. Preference storage is used only to remember your choice.
Choose your preference
Both choices leave the current website free of optional cookies and tracking tools. Accepting does not activate analytics or authorize unspecified future technologies. You can change your choice here at any time.
JavaScript is required to display or save a preference. No optional tracking tools are used by this website’s code.
Clearing or blocking storage
Use your browser’s site-data or privacy settings to remove this website’s stored preference. Blocking localStorage does not prevent access to the field guides. If saving is blocked, the controls will report that the preference could not be stored.
Choosing essential only replaces any previous accepted value. To remove the key entirely, clear this website’s site data in your browser. Clearing browser data may also affect form restoration or other browser-managed information.
Other browser features
The contact composer keeps its prepared message in page memory rather than persistent website storage. Copying text uses your clipboard; downloading creates a file on your device. These actions happen only when you request them. Your browser may independently retain history, cached pages or form entries under its own settings.
External websites and infrastructure
External reference sites have their own storage practices after you visit them. This notice covers the code and tools of this website, not technologies independently operated by those destinations. Hosting or security infrastructure may process technical request information as described in Privacy.
