What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser so it can remember a choice or count a visit. This site is a static publication about telecom analytics studies. It does not require an account. You can refuse analytics cookies and still read rates, open field notes, and send a study request.
Types we use
Essential. These remember whether you accepted or rejected cookies so the banner does not return on every page load. The site will not block pages, maps of our studies, or the contact form if you reject analytics.
Analytics. Only if you press Accept. These help us see which field notes are actually read so we do not keep writing about hours nobody opens. They are not used to build a scoreboard of operators.
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not run remarketing pixels.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| pipelineFlowgrid_cookieConsent | Stores Accept or Reject so the banner can stay hidden | 12 months (localStorage) | Pipeline Flowgrid (this site) |
| pf_fieldnote | Counts that a field-note page was opened, if you accepted analytics | 6 months | Pipeline Flowgrid |
| pf_session | Temporary load of page templates (essential) | Session | Pipeline Flowgrid |
The consent value is stored in localStorage under the key pipelineFlowgrid_cookieConsent rather than as a classic HTTP cookie; the effect for you is the same: a recorded choice that is not an analytics profile.
How to manage or disable cookies
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. You can also clear site data for pipeline-flowgrid.digital in your browser settings, which forgets the choice and shows the banner again. Browser controls (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) let you block cookies for this site entirely; essential functions such as reading pages remain available. If localStorage is blocked, the banner may reappear; the form still works.
Third-party cookies
Pages load typefaces from Google Fonts. That request may allow Google to see your IP address and the font files you need. We do not place a Google Analytics cookie unless a future dated update of this table says so. Images on this site are requested from Unsplash’s public image service; Unsplash may see the image URL your browser loads. Those requests are not our analytics cookies and are not switched by the banner. See also the privacy note.
If you disable analytics cookies
You will not help us learn which field notes are read. You will not lose the ability to request a radio-access study, read rates, or open client notes. Rejecting is a complete choice, not a lesser button.
Changes
If we add a cookie, we will add a row to the table and, where the change is material, ask for a new choice.
