This site does not use cookies and asks for no personal data. It keeps a few small settings in your browser's local storage — your chosen theme and language, the sidebar layout, and your progress and answers in the Guides — so it remembers them on your next visit. This data never leaves your device; clearing your browser storage removes it. Inputs you change can also be captured in the page URL, so you can share or bookmark a specific setup. The site uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless service that records only anonymous, aggregated usage (such as page views) without identifying you or tracking you across other sites.
