Cookies & GDPR consent
Seller Signal sets no cookies at all. The only thing stored in your browser is a single localStorage entry recording your consent choice, and all non-essential scripts (analytics and advertising) are hard-gated behind that choice: they cannot load before you click Accept, and they never load if you decline.
Everything stored in your browser
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
ss-consent |
localStorage (first-party, never transmitted) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential scripts, so the banner does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear it: button below, or clear site data in your browser. |
That is the whole list. If analytics or ads are activated by a site operator in the future, this table and the privacy policy must be updated to inventory the cookies those providers set.
How the consent gate works
- On your first visit, the banner appears. Until you choose, no analytics and no ad scripts exist on the page. The gate is in the code, not a courtesy.
- Accept stores
ss-consent = acceptedand permits the (currently placeholder) analytics loader to run on future page views. - Decline stores
ss-consent = declined. Nothing loads, ever, and the site works identically. - With JavaScript disabled the banner never appears, and no non-essential script can run at all, so no consent is needed.
Change or withdraw your choice
Consent is as easy to withdraw as to give. This button clears your saved choice; the banner will then reappear and you can choose again:
If the button does nothing, JavaScript is off. In that case there is nothing to clear unless you previously accepted with JavaScript on; use your browser's "clear site data" for this site instead.
Legal basis
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential storage and tracking require prior opt-in consent, which is exactly what the gate implements. The single ss-consent entry itself is strictly necessary to honor your choice and requires no consent.
