# Cookie Policy

Effective August 4, 2026

**The short version:** we set analytics cookies only if you say yes to the banner, and nothing else. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, ever. Your challenge data lives in your device's local storage and never reaches us.

## Cookies we use (with your consent)

These are governed by [Google's privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). They tell us things like "1,000 people read the no-buy rules guide this week" — they don't tell us who you are, and they never see anything you track in the app. For a neutral primer on how cookies and online tracking work, see the [FTC's privacy and security guidance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/privacy-security) or the [UC Berkeley Information Security Office](https://security.berkeley.edu/).

## Your choice

The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you're OK with this. If you decline, analytics stays off — the site works identically either way. Your choice is stored on your device (in local storage, not a cookie). To change your mind, clear this site's data in your browser and the banner will ask again.

## What we don't use

No advertising cookies. No social media pixels. No fingerprinting. No cross-site tracking of any kind. The app itself sets no cookies at all — everything you track stays in your device's local storage, as described in our [Privacy Policy](/privacy.html).

## Strictly necessary storage

We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) for things the site needs to function: your theme preference, your consent choice, and — in the app — your challenge data itself. This storage never leaves your device.
