Cookies
A straightforward explanation of cookies, browser caching, local search, and external links in this edition.
What the supplied code uses
The restored static website does not set advertising, analytics, preference, or session cookies. It does not use localStorage or sessionStorage to build visitor profiles. There is no cookie-consent banner because the supplied code does not introduce optional tracking technologies requiring such a choice. This statement concerns the package itself, not an unverified future hosting configuration.
Local assets and search
Fonts, styles, scripts, and editorial photographs are included locally. A browser may cache these resources to make repeat visits faster. A cached stylesheet or photo is different from a tracking cookie. The local search uses a bundled text index and puts the requested search words into the page URL. Your browser history, a shared URL, or hosting logs may therefore contain those words.
Hosting and security services
A hosting provider, proxy, or security service can add cookies or other behavior independently of these files. If an operator enables such a service, it must verify the actual behavior and update this page and the Privacy Policy as appropriate. No provider or retention period is asserted here without evidence.
External websites
Clicking a source or partner link takes you to another operator’s website. That operator may use cookies according to its own policy. External links do not automatically load an embedded player or tracking widget in the supplied pages. The historic archive’s references should be understood in their original context.
Your browser controls
You can manage cookies, cached data, and browsing history through your browser’s settings. Blocking cookies should not prevent the supplied static articles and navigation from working. Disabling JavaScript leaves article text, sources, images, and ordinary links available; the enhanced menu and local search may then require ordinary navigation links.
Review date
Reviewed against the supplied code on 14 November 2026. If a new form, analytics tool, embed, or advertising service is added, reassess both actual behavior and the information presented to visitors before release.
