This site uses no cookies at all.

Analytics here run in Google Analytics 4's cookieless mode: consent for every storage category is denied before the tag loads, so nothing is written to your machine and no identifier follows you between visits or between sites. What is sent is a timestamp, the name of the page you looked at, and coarse context like country and device type. It cannot be tied back to you.

The practical consequence, stated plainly: we can see that a page was read and roughly where readers came from. We cannot see who you are, whether you have been here before, or what you did afterwards - and we have chosen not to be able to.

Two other things touch your browser, and neither is a tracking cookie:

  • Your theme choice and your saved designs are kept in your own browser's local storage. They never reach us. Clearing your browser data removes them.
  • Web push notifications, if you have ever agreed to them, use a service worker. You can revoke that at any time in your browser's site settings, and we describe it in the Privacy Policy.

If you would rather block all of this, your browser's privacy settings will do it, and nothing on the site will stop working.
