Cookie policy
There are no cookies.
Unless you sign in to the dashboard. Last updated 22 September 2026.
This is the whole policy: this website does not set cookies. It also writes nothing to local storage or session storage, uses no IndexedDB, no web beacons, no fingerprinting and no device identifiers of any kind. When you close the tab, your browser is exactly as you left it.
Why you are not being asked to consent. Consent is required for storing or reading information on your device when that storage is not strictly necessary. This site stores nothing at all, so there is nothing to ask you about. A banner here would be theatre — and worse, it would train you to click "accept" on sites where it actually matters.
The one exception: signing in to the dashboard
If you sign in to the optional dashboard, the account server sets one cookie. Nothing is set until you do, and never if you don't have an account.
- Name:
ltc_session, set byapi.localtc.techonly. - Purpose: keeping you signed in. It holds a random token; the server stores only a hash of it.
- Lifetime: 30 days, or until you sign out, which deletes it.
- Type: strictly necessary.
HttpOnly(the page's scripts can't read it),Secure(HTTPS only) andSameSite=Lax. It's never used for tracking or shared with anyone.
Because it's strictly necessary for something you asked for, it doesn't need a consent banner. The dashboard stores nothing else: no local storage, no analytics.
What that means in practice
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom or anything else. Nobody counts you.
- No advertising or retargeting. There is nothing to sell and nobody to sell it to.
- No social or video embeds. Links to other sites are plain links, which load nothing until you click them.
- No third-party fonts or scripts. The two typefaces are served from this site, so no font CDN learns that you visited. Every script on the page is a file in the same repository as the page.
- No A/B testing, no session replay, no heatmaps.
Verify it yourself
Nothing here should be taken on trust. Open your browser's developer tools
(F12, or Cmd‑Option‑I) and look:
- The Application (or Storage) tab: cookies, local storage and session storage are all empty for this domain (and for
api.localtc.tech, until you sign in to the dashboard). - The Network tab: every request goes to this domain. Nothing is fetched from anywhere else, except the dashboard's calls to
api.localtc.tech, and the dashboard maps' tiles fromtile.openstreetmap.org(which set no cookies).
The source of this page is public, so you can also just read it.
Elsewhere
Cookies are somebody else's business as soon as you leave. Clicking through to GitHub or Buy Me a Coffee puts you on their sites, under their cookie policies, and what happens there has nothing to do with this one. Our host, GitHub Pages, handles the request itself — see the privacy policy for what that involves.
If this ever changes
It is not planned to. If something on this site ever does need to store data on your device, this page will say what and why before it happens, and anything non-essential will ask you first — properly, with a real choice and a real "no".
