Cookie policy
Last updated .
Cookies and similar storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) are small bits of data your browser stores on our request. We use them sparingly: only what is strictly necessary for the site to work, plus optional categories you can opt in to via the banner.
Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — always on. Required for the site to function.
- Functional — optional preferences (e.g., dismissed banners). Off by default.
- Analytics — privacy-friendly traffic measurement. Off by default.
- Marketing — none currently set. Category exists so you can opt out preemptively.
Cookies and storage we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ddl-theme | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you chose the dark or light theme. Stored as a localStorage value. | Until you clear browser storage | First-party (this site) |
| ddl_consent | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie consent decision so we don't prompt on every visit. | Up to 12 months, then we re-prompt | First-party (this site) |
| ddl-consent (mirror) | Strictly necessary | localStorage mirror of the consent cookie. Same purpose; used so we can recover your choice if cookies are disabled but localStorage is allowed. | Until you clear browser storage | First-party (this site) |
| plausible_ignore | Analytics (only with consent) | Plausible Analytics is cookieless by design. The only storage it sets is an optional opt-out flag (plausible_ignore) for visitors who explicitly exclude themselves from aggregated traffic measurement. | Until you clear browser storage | Plausible Insights OÜ (plausible.io) |
Managing your preferences
Open the cookie preferences any time via the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the footer. You can also clear cookies and storage at the browser level — see allaboutcookies.org for step-by-step guides per browser.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends Sec-GPC: 1 or the legacy DNT: 1 header, we treat all non-essential categories as opt-out by default until you explicitly opt in via the banner.
