Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data a site asks your browser to store. Some cookies are just a memory of a choice you made. Others help a publisher understand which pages were useful. This page is the full note for Dev Pulsebase. The short version also appears in the banner on your first visit.
What we use
Essential: we store your Accept or Reject decision so the banner does not return every time you open a syllabus. That storage lives in localStorage under the key devpulsebase_cookie_consent. Analytics: only if you Accept, we may load a lightweight page-count script to see which public essays are read. Rejecting does not hide courses, forms, or the Atlas. There is no dark pattern on the banner; both buttons are visible.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| devpulsebase_cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies | Until you clear site data | Dev Pulsebase (first party, localStorage) |
| pulse_page_seen | Counts public page views after Accept; never set on Reject | 6 months | Dev Pulsebase (first party) |
| fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com | Serves the studio typefaces; may set third-party cookies according to Google’s policies | Per Google Fonts |
Third-party cookies
Images load from Unsplash and Pexels. Those hosts may set their own cookies when your browser requests a photograph. We do not control them. Embedded fonts may similarly involve Google. We do not load advertising networks. Details of how we handle personal data sit in the privacy note.
How to manage or disable
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. To change a saved choice, clear localStorage for this site (or site data in your browser settings) and reload; the banner will return. You can also block cookies entirely in the browser. Blocking essential storage may make the banner reappear; it will not remove course pages.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics means we will not count your page views. The syllabus, forms, and legal pages remain available. If you block all site data, we cannot remember the rejection and will ask again. That is an inconvenience, not a lock-out.
