Cookie & LocalStorage Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Revised: March 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. HTML5 `localStorage` operates similarly by storing key-value pairs locally within your client browser to preserve user state (such as acknowledging our cookie consent banner) without transmitting unneeded data back to our server on every HTTP request.
2. Comprehensive Breakdown Table
We maintain absolute transparency regarding data tokens saved in your browser:
| Cookie / Key Name | Category | Lifespan | Specific Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
indexhappystck_cookie_consent |
Essential / Preference | Persistent (1 Year) | Remembers if the user accepted or declined non-essential analytics, preventing repeated banner prompts. |
__cf_bm |
Essential / Security | 30 Minutes | Provided by Cloudflare to manage malicious bot traffic and prevent automated scrapers. |
_night_radar_state |
Functional (Session) | Session only | Temporarily stores selected city/genre filters in memory during active exploration sessions. |
3. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You possess full control over cookie storage. You can configure your browser to reject cookies or delete stored data at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-Party Cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection.

If you block essential security cookies, parts of our high-speed interactive radar mapping tools may perform with reduced efficiency.
