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.

Every game desk and every lab challenge in one place. Scores are saved in this browser only. A desk mission counts as completed once you pass every objective; the missions column lists the ones you have finished. A challenge round is a hit when your answer lands within the stated tolerance, and a streak counts hits in a row. Nothing is sent anywhere: clear your browser storage to start again.
