Where is the Cookie Banner?

Effective Date: August 11, 2026

A Breath of Fresh Air

If you're wondering why you didn't have to click "Accept All Cookies" when you arrived at this site, it's because we do not use any tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.

What We Do Use

This site relies on Google's Firebase Authentication to securely manage your login state and issue your API key. To keep you logged in across page reloads, Firebase utilizes local browser storage (such as localStorage and IndexedDB) and strictly necessary, functional session tokens.

We also use localStorage exclusively to save your explicit UI preferences, such as your choice between the Light, Dark, or System theme, so your preference persists seamlessly across page loads.

Additionally, we use Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect our registration portal from spam and abuse. This security service may set a necessary functional cookie (like _GRECAPTCHA) to distinguish human users from automated bots. For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Why No Banner?

Under privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA, "cookie banners" are only required when a website uses cookies for non-essential purposes (like tracking your behavior across the internet or serving targeted ads). Because our session tokens are strictly necessary to provide the secure authentication service you requested, they are universally exempt from consent requirements.

We respect your privacy, your time, and your screen space.
