What cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
3. REQUIRED OR ESSENTIAL COOKIES
This website is a static site with no login, authentication, or server-side session management. It does not set first-party session cookies. Browser localStorage is used only on your device for light/dark display, the chat tab position, and a live-voice microphone reminder. That reminder never replaces the browser's real microphone permission and is not sent to a server.
