01What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage and session storage work similarly. Together we call them "storage technologies." We disclose every storage key we set below.
02California vs. EU rules: why there is no banner
The European Union requires opt-in consent before any non-essential cookie fires. California's CCPA/CPRA requires only disclosure and an opt-out if a site sells or shares personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we do neither, no banner is required.
If we ever add an advertising or cross-site analytics tracker, we will (a) update this page, (b) add a "Your Privacy Choices" link to the footer, and (c) publish a CPRA opt-out page within 30 days, before the tracker goes live.
