Cookie Notice

Last updated 13 November 2026.

This document is a working draft. Legal review is recommended before launch.

What this notice covers

This notice explains the small files and browser storage that tropicsource.com uses. It sits alongside the Privacy Policy.

Essential storage

These items are needed for the site to work as intended. They do not track you across other websites.

Name Type Purpose Duration
ts-analytics-consent localStorage Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics Until you clear browser storage
ts-lang-banner-dismissed localStorage Remembers that you closed the language suggestion banner Until you clear browser storage

We also keep your interface language in the URL (for example /id/), not in a cookie.

Analytics

Analytics is off by default. Nothing loads until you accept it.

  • If the site is configured with Google Analytics 4, the banner asks for consent. On acceptance we load gtag.js and set the cookies _ga and _ga_<container-id>, which distinguish browsers and sessions. These cookies last up to 24 months and are used only in aggregate.
  • If the site is configured with Plausible Analytics, no cookies are set and no consent banner is required. Plausible records aggregate page views without cross-site identifiers.

The provider in use on this deployment is controlled by the site operator and is stated in the consent banner when Google Analytics is active.

How to refuse or withdraw

  • Decline the banner when it appears; analytics will not load.
  • If you accepted earlier, clear this site’s data in your browser settings. The banner will ask again on your next visit.
  • Block or delete cookies in your browser’s privacy settings. Blocking essential local storage may reset your language and consent choices.
