I can't provide a definitive answer. However, I suggest those two statements are a bit confused on their face. Statement 1 refers to "... private to the page or application." Statement 2 refers to "software that is independent of the site." So we have the terms "application" and "software." I suggest those are essentially synonymous. That leaves us with the question of what "independent" means. So, my conclusion becomes we're OK. We're consuming the web site in a user appropriate manner. Imo, that's not an "independent" use. Just my two cents (American).
