3. Browser Local Storage Audit (HTML5 Web Storage)
Unlike cookies, items stored in localStorage remain on your local machine and are not transmitted with every HTTP web request. The following table reflects the actual storage keys utilized by TechPari:
| Storage Key | Storage Type | Category | Operational Purpose | Persistence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| techpari_cookie_consent_v1 | localStorage | Strictly Necessary | Stores your consent choices (analytics, advertising, timestamp) so the banner is not repeatedly shown | Persistent until cleared (1 year recommended re-prompt) |
| theme | localStorage | Preference | Stores your chosen visual interface mode (“light”, “dark”, or “system”) to prevent white screen flash on load | Persistent until cleared |
| tp_articles_v4 / tp_categories_v4 | localStorage | Functional Caching | Caches published article metadata and category trees on the client to accelerate page rendering | Persistent until refreshed or cleared |
| tp_admin_session | localStorage | Strictly Necessary (Admin Only) | Temporary client session cache for authenticated newsroom editors managing CMS article drafts | Session lifespan |
4. Google Consent Mode v2 Architecture
We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2 on TechPari. Before any measurement or advertising script runs, the platform establishes default privacy parameters:
analytics_storage: Initialized as ‘denied’ by default. Updated to ‘granted’ only if you affirmatively enable Performance & Analytics.ad_storage: Initialized as ‘denied’ by default.ad_user_data: Initialized as ‘denied’ by default.ad_personalization: Initialized as ‘denied’ by default.
This architecture ensures that Google tags dynamically adjust their behavior based on your choices. If you reject non-essential cookies, Google Analytics operates in a cookieless, non-identifying telemetry mode.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can inspect, modify, or revoke your consent preferences at any time. Clicking the button below immediately reopens our interactive preference center:
6. Native Browser Controls

- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection.
