Cookie Policy

Short version: one functional cookie, a handful of browser-local settings, and a note on advertising below.

The one cookie

sid — a random token with no personal information in it, set the first time you visit. It's how the site tells "this browser" apart from another one, so your daily posting limit and your comment history are tracked correctly and abuse can be rate-limited. It's marked HttpOnly (page scripts can't read it) and expires after a year. There is no way to opt out of it and keep posting or commenting — it's load-bearing for the anti-abuse limits described in About, the same way a site can't remember your shopping cart without storing something somewhere.

What's stored only in your browser (never sent anywhere)

• Your nickname — so it's remembered between visits instead of re-rolling every time you open the app.
• Your own post IDs — powers the "My Posts" screen. This list never leaves your device and isn't looked up by identity on the server.
• Which posts you've related to — so the button shows the right state if you come back later.
• Whether you've seen the welcome screen and this cookie notice — so they don't show again on every visit.

All of the above uses localStorage, not cookies, and is cleared the moment you clear your browser's site data.

Third parties

Cloudflare Turnstile runs on every post and comment to keep bots out. It's a Cloudflare product embedded directly on the page, and it may set its own state to do that job — we don't control that part, and it isn't used for advertising.

We plan to run advertising on this site. When that's in place, this page will be updated to name the ad providers involved and what they store — nothing will be added without this policy reflecting it first.
