This Cookie Policy explains how PlateContext uses cookies and similar technologies on platecontext.info (the "Site"). We are committed to transparency about our minimal use of cookies and respect for your privacy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies serve various purposes, from enabling basic website functionality to tracking user behavior for analytics or advertising.
How We Use Cookies
PlateContext uses cookies in an extremely limited way. We use only strictly necessary cookies required for basic website operation. We do not use cookies for:
- Analytics or tracking user behavior
- Advertising or marketing purposes
- Profiling or behavioral analysis
- Social media integration
- Third-party data collection
- Cross-site tracking
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
We use only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function. These cookies enable core functionality such as:
- Cookie Consent: Remembering that you have acknowledged our cookie notice so it does not appear on every page visit
These cookies are stored in your browser's local storage and do not transmit data to external servers. They contain no personal information and cannot be used to identify you.

- We believe in transparency and simplicity in data practices
- We want to minimize your exposure to tracking technologies
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save your cookie consent preference. Local storage is similar to cookies but stores data locally in your browser and does not transmit it to servers. This data remains on your device until you clear your browser data.
