Cookie notice
This page is a short, plain-language summary of the cookies and similar storage we use. The complete picture lives in the Privacy Policy § 6.
We use the minimum technical storage needed to make the site work. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising cookies or any other behavioural tracker. There is no consent banner because every cookie we set is strictly necessary or set only after you actively interact with a feature.

Local storage vs cookies
The first three items above (k.*) are localStorage, not cookies. They never travel to our servers. They live only in your browser. They cannot be used to track you across sites.
