No tracking cookies — ever.
We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Session preferences are stored locally in your browser only.
What are cookies?

Cookies we use
This platform does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies that identify individual users, or any third-party tracking cookies. We may use minimal session storage (not persistent cookies) to preserve your region or specialty filter selection within a single browser session. This data never leaves your browser.
What we do not use
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, or any other behavioural tracking tool. We do not set persistent cookies that follow you across websites. We do not serve targeted advertising.
Third-party content
Some pages may include embedded content from third-party services (such as GitHub). These services may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We have no control over third-party cookies.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling session storage may affect region or specialty filter preferences within a session, but will not prevent you from accessing any content on this platform.
