Understanding the Digital Ledger
In the discipline of institutional research, small variables define large outcomes. Similarly, "cookies"—small text files deposited on your machine—serve as the underlying ledger for your session parameters. Without these markers, the site would "forget" your specific filter settings for our forecasting models Every time you navigated between pages.
Fig 1.1: Our digital environment mirrors our physical workspace—structured, intentional, and strictly optimized for the extraction of signal from noise.
We do not use these files to harvest personal identity for third-party commercial exploitation. Instead, they serve as utilitarian anchors. If you are examining specific economic indicators, a session cookie may track your range selection (e.g., 5-year vs 10-year outlooks) so that your research flow remains uninterrupted by redundant data re-entry.
