What these technologies are
Cookies are small files that a website stores or reads on a user’s device. Local storage performs a similar role within the browser. Some technologies are necessary to remember preferences or provide the service; others, such as certain analytics tools, require prior consent.
Current technologies
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| aot-episode | First party · localStorage | Remember the selected episode and protect the experience from spoilers | Until site data is cleared |
| aot-graph-legend-collapsed | First party · localStorage | Remember whether the graph legend is collapsed | Until site data is cleared |
| aot-cookie-consent | First party · localStorage | Remember the consent choice and avoid asking on every visit | Until site data is cleared |
| Vercel Web Analytics / Speed Insights | Vercel | Aggregated usage and performance statistics. They load only if you accept the analytics category. | Anonymous session identification is discarded after 24 hours |
| Support widget | Buy Me a Coffee | Display the button and manage interaction with the external service. It loads only if you accept the external support category. | According to the provider’s settings |
Google Analytics 4
The site may load Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 if you accept the analytics category, to measure visits, viewed pages and interactions in order to improve content. By default, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies such as:
| Cookie | Purpose | Default duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguish users | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Persist session state | 2 years |
How to manage your choice
The website provides its own preference panel, without an external consent-management service. From that panel you can accept all optional purposes, reject them all or enable only the categories you want.
You can reopen it from the fixed Cookies button or from this document. If you withdraw analytics, the site removes known first-party Google Analytics cookies if present; data already sent to external providers must be handled with those providers.
Blocking or clearing local storage may cause the website to forget the selected episode, the state of some controls or your consent choice, but it does not prevent access to the content.
Third-party information
You can find more information in Google Analytics cookie documentation and in Vercel Web Analytics privacy documentation.
