Sample field note

Biofluorescence is useful only when the observation keeps its context: light source, habitat, species confidence, and the limits of what the image can prove.

Presets

Start from a known mode, then fine-tune individual controls below.

Applies to work, print, download, licensing, experience, and taxon media

Accessibility

Add clarity or reduce motion across the site. Device accessibility settings still take priority where they are stricter.

Applies to navigation, links, media, and controls

MotionTransparencyUnderline linksMake text links visibly underlined across content surfaces.Stronger focus outlineIncrease keyboard focus visibility for repeated navigation.Captions by defaultPrefer captions when video or motion surfaces provide them.

Content safety

Choose whether adult material and themes are shown in public browsing. This uses CMS content-safety metadata rather than keyword guessing.

Applies to work, store, journal, search, and related content surfaces

Show adult materialAdult-marked work remains visible with its normal catalogue context.Hide adult materialAdult-marked work, products, media, and editorial pages are removed from browsing surfaces.

Privacy & security

Choose which optional signals the site may use. Essential security and checkout protections still run where they are required to provide the service.

Applies to analytics, account sessions, help, and commerce surfaces

Allow privacy-preserving analyticsShare aggregate page and interaction signals so the site can be improved without exposing personal field, purchase, or account details.Use preferences for personalisationLet saved preferences tune repeated surfaces such as help, store, and reading views when you are signed in.Account and checkout security noticesPrefer notices about sign-in, order, download, and account-protection events where accounts are available.

Diagnostics & feedback

During the preview period these help us find faults and rough edges quickly. They are first-party only — nothing is shared with third parties — and locations stay redacted. Turn either off at any time.

Applies to error reports and anonymous interaction signals

Send error reportsWhen something breaks, send the fault and the page it happened on so it can be fixed. No personal field, purchase, or account details are included.Share anonymous interaction signalsShare where interface friction shows up — repeated or dead clicks, scroll depth, and time on a page — as anonymous, viewport-relative signals to help refine the layout.
