This site runs no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking. What follows is the complete list of what may be set.

#Why there is no cookie banner
None of the above is an advertising or profiling cookie. The theme preference is strictly functional and stays on your device. Cloudflare’s security cookie is necessary to deliver the site safely. If we ever add anything that requires consent, a consent mechanism will appear before it is set — not after.
#Controlling cookies
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear local storage from its settings. Blocking them will not break reading this site; you will simply lose the remembered theme choice.
