Stored in your own browser — never sent to a server. Required for the UI to behave.

The fine print, in case you're still hungry

PsyDB does not set any server-side cookies for public visitors. Everything below lives in your own browser's local or session storage:

CookieConsent — flag saying you accepted this banner, so it doesn't appear again (cookie, ~5 months)
psydb-theme-tweaks — your view preferences: the background theme you picked and whether release lists show cover thumbnails (localStorage)
saved-scroll-positions — scroll positions per route, so the back button restores your spot (sessionStorage)
psydb-mobile-nav-side — which side you docked the mobile menu button to (localStorage)
psydb-cipher-letters-v1 — your letter guesses in the hidden cipher decoder (localStorage)
psydb-secrets — which easter eggs you've found and any clue timers you've started on the secrets page (localStorage)

We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, or any third-party tracking pixels. There is no Spotify login or first-party Spotify storage — every Spotify button just opens spotify.com in a new tab, where their own cookies and tracking are their business.

"Every cookie is a small kindness from the past. Eat them mindfully." — possibly never said by anyone, ever.

Revoke consent any time by toggling the switches above or clearing your browser storage.
