What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and improve your browsing experience. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
How We Use Cookies
silicon-drone uses cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including to make our website function properly, understand how visitors use our site, and remember your preferences. We categorise our cookies as follows:

Local storage allows websites to store data in your browser that persists even after you close the browser window. We use local storage to save your cookie consent preferences and certain user interface preferences.

Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when you close your browser tab. We may use session storage for temporary data during your browsing session.
