What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text data files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your browser sessions, preserve preferences, and ensure responsive page loading.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 Local Storage. Unlike cookies which are sent with every server request, local storage remains entirely within your browser client to save state without transmitting data over the network.

Third-Party Services & Analytics
We prioritize reader privacy and avoid intrusive tracking. We may utilize privacy-conscious, cookieless analytics tools or aggregate telemetry (such as Vercel Edge performance metrics) that do not track users across the web or build behavioral profiles.
External resources like Google Web Fonts may establish ephemeral server connections to deliver font files smoothly across devices.
