1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by your internet browser when visiting digital websites. Web storage (such as HTML5 LocalStorage) provides an equivalent mechanism allowing modern web browsers to remember interface state and display preferences locally without transmitting excessive data over network connections.
2. Categories of Cookies Employed on This Portal
We classify the technical storage items utilized on britishcarronade.com into distinct operational tiers:
A. Strictly Essential Technical Cookies
These tokens are indispensable for the core operation, routing, and network integrity of our website. Without these items, basic page serving, navigation drawers, and server load coordination cannot function reliably.

- dpi_cache: Essential interface rendering and typography profile token that stores display resolution and visual density attributes. (Duration: 30 days, First-Party).
- consent_state_ip5q71: Technical local storage record that preserves your explicit cookie consent selections across page transitions. (Duration: Persistent local storage, First-Party).
B. Performance & Analytical Indicators
These anonymous aggregated metrics help our editorial engineering team evaluate page load latency, WebGL canvas compatibility, and hardware rendering performance across different operating systems.
- All analytical signals adhere strictly to Google Consent Mode v2 standards, remaining entirely dormant until affirmative user consent is granted.
