How we use cookies.
Essential site functions, analytics, and embedded content — what runs on skematic.nyc, who controls it, and how to manage it from your browser.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as browser localStorage and pixel tags. Collectively we refer to these as "cookies" in this policy.
How we use cookies on skematic.nyc
We use cookies for three purposes: essential site functions, analytics, and embedded third-party content. The sections below describe each category.
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function correctly.
- Color-mode preference — stored in your browser's localStorage so the site remembers your dark/light theme choice.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — used during form submission to verify you are not a bot.
Analytics
We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These tools set cookies that measure pages viewed, referring sources, approximate location, device type, and session activity. We use this information in aggregate to improve the site. Retention follows Google Analytics defaults.
Embedded content
Some pages include third-party embeds — the Elfsight Instagram widget and Google Fonts. These providers may set their own cookies, controlled by them rather than by us.

Managing cookies
You can manage and delete cookies through your browser. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies entirely. Note that blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Note: skematic.nyc does not currently display an on-site cookie consent banner.
Updates & contact
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or providers change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Contact: [email protected].
