Cookies & Storage - Shared Area

Shared Area sets no cookies.

Not for tracking, not for advertising, not even for signing in — so there is no cookie banner to click. What we do use is your browser's own storage, on your device, for things you would expect:

What	Why	How long
Sign-in token and a copy of your profile (username, XP, avatar)	Keeps you signed in and makes pages load instantly	Until you sign out
Your preferences — dyslexia-friendly font, dismissed notices, recent searches	So the site remembers how you like it	Until you sign out or clear your browser (the font choice stays for everyone who uses your device)
Small session flags — for example "this video was already counted" or "return to this page after signing in"	Makes features work correctly without tracking you	Until you close the tab

All of it lives on your device, readable only by this site. Clear it any time through your browser's "clear site data" — you will simply be signed out and preferences reset.

Analytics without cookies or scripts.

We use Cloudflare's edge measurement to count how many people visit: the counting happens on Cloudflare's network as pages are served. Nothing is placed on your device, no script runs in your browser, and we only ever see aggregate numbers — never who you are.
