Which parts of Tiger set cookies?

Hi and thank you for this great skin and the ongoing development!
I would like to turn of the cookie-warning, but therefore I want to ensure that cookies really are not set. Which functions/elements of Tiger use cookies or is it in the core functions of the Skin and therefore not avoidable? |

Thank you, I read something like that in the jAlbum settings.
"The skin alone does not utilize any tracking. It stores cookies (local storage) in order to remember user preferences, cart contents, and music playback state."
Which user preferences are those? If possible I would disable features which use cookies for remembering preferences.
(I neither have a shop nor music, just a plain and simple album.)

These are all what are known as session cookies. They are essential to the proper functioning of the page(s) in the album. They are never passed anywhere other than your own PC, and they contain no user-identifiable information (not even an IP address).
They are fully GDPR compliant, and do not require consent.

I neither use social media, google fonts, jAlbum widgets etc. GDPR, especially in Germany is a pain.
Additionally i now set the google fonts to be pre-saved, thanks!

Yes, the Tiger setting for copying Google fonts to the album avoids problems. In fact, in my own skins, I don't even offer it as an option - the skins just do it.
Of course, the judge who ruled that fetching Google fonts when visiting a web page is an invasion of privacy is simply an idiot. Of what possible use would the IP addresses of everyone who ever looked at a Google font on a webpage be? It would be like collecting the IP addresses of everyone who ever visited a web page with a black background.  |

You mean observing the traffic with network analysis? I did that and also checked with ublock, the website is clean now. I also can't find any cookie data of the website in my browsers cookie jar.

Session cookies, by definition, are automatically deleted when the session ends, so they shouldn't show up when looking at the "cookies left behind."

Tiger skin saves the lightbox's Thumbnail strip, Info panel visibility, and zoom state. Also, it saves the background music volume and play position. And as far as I remember it saves the actual image too. When using the Feedback cart or the Shopping cart, it also saves the cart content. These are not session cookies, because most of them linger on for 4 hours or so after closing the webpage.
