Why there is no cookie consent banner

We only use storage that is strictly necessary to sign you in, plus one preference you set yourself. Under the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement — so asking you to accept them would be a pointless click. If we ever add analytics or anything that tracks you, we will ask first, properly.

What is actually set

NamePurposeLifetime
sb-…-auth-tokenSupabase (first-party)Strictly necessaryKeeps you signed in between page loads. Without it you would be logged out on every navigation.Session, refreshed while you stay active

What we don't set

No advertising cookies, no analytics, no social media pixels, no cross-site trackers, and nothing that builds a profile of you. Nobody else drops storage through this site.

Turning them off

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the authentication cookie will stop you being able to sign in, since it is what keeps your session alive. Clearing the notification preference simply resets the bell to off.
