Cookies
Open AssayIndex sets no cookies at all. It sets one localStorage key for the colour scheme. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
There are none
This site sets no cookies. Not necessary ones, not functional ones, not analytical ones, not advertising ones. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to, and a banner asking permission to set nothing would be theatre.
The one thing that is stored
| Key | Mechanism | Value | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ax.theme | localStorage | "light" | "dark" | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark colour scheme, so the page does not flash the wrong one on load. | Until you clear site data |
localStorage is not a cookie: it is never transmitted to any server, is readable only by this origin, and carries no identifier. Clearing site data in your browser removes it. If you never touch the theme toggle it is never written.
Third-party storage
None. The only third-party request the site makes is for a web font. It sets no storage.
Why this page exists at all
Because "we use cookies to enhance your experience" is the default state of the web and a site claiming otherwise ought to be specific enough to be checked. Open your browser's developer tools and look.
