Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-18

What cookies we use today

We only set cookies and browser-storage items that are strictly necessary to operate the service, plus one item that records your own display preference. We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or cross-site trackers.

The table

NamePurposeCategoryLifetime
next-auth.session-tokenKeeps you signed in between page loads. Signed (JWT), HTTP-only, SameSite=Lax.Strictly necessarySession
next-auth.csrf-tokenCSRF protection for sign-in forms.Strictly necessarySession
next-auth.callback-urlRemembers where to send you after sign-in.Strictly necessarySession
theme (localStorage)Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.User preferenceUntil cleared
consent (localStorage)Records which optional embeds / categories you have opted in to (e.g. "Show map").User preferenceUntil cleared

“Session” means the cookie is removed when you close the browser or sign out. “Strictly necessary” cookies are exempt from prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR because the service cannot function without them.

Third-party embeds

Some pages may display a Google Maps preview in the footer. To avoid contacting Google automatically, the map is not loaded until you click “Show map”. When you do, your browser connects to Google and Google may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. We remember your choice in the consent localStorage item above so you don’t have to click again on future visits.

How to change your choices

  • Revoke the map opt-in — click “Hide map” on the footer map, or clear your browser’s site data for this domain.
  • Sign out to drop the session cookie.
  • Browser controls — every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies on a per-site basis.

Future changes

If we ever introduce analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies, we will update this page and ask for your consent before any such cookies are set. Strictly-necessary cookies will continue to be set without a prompt.
