1. Technologies We Use

Unlike traditional tracking-heavy sites, Esencja primarily leverages modern HTML5 Local Storage (`localStorage`). This allows the application to keep your offline reading progress, streak calculations, and audio resume timestamps stored locally on your device without transmitting telemetry to central servers on every page click.

2. Full Inventory of Storage Keys

Below is a comprehensive audit of all client storage identifiers used across our platform:

Key Identifier Category Description & Purpose Retention
esencja-cookie-consent-v1 Strictly Necessary Preserves your consent choices and timestamp. 365 Days
esencja-theme Strictly Necessary Maintains dark/light mode visual choice. Persistent
