What this site collects
No cookies, no accounts, no login, no comment system, no advertising, and no third-party trackers.
Page views
The site loads Vercel Analytics, which counts page views. Vercel documents it as cookieless and describes what it records at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Hosting
Vercel hosts this site and keeps server logs for the requests it serves, under the same policy linked above.
Fonts
Newsreader is self-hosted from this domain, built into the site at deploy time.
On your device
The site sets no cookies. Two values are written to your browser's own localStorage:
theme: whether you chose Live, Light or Dark on the homepage, or the light or dark palette on the other pages, so the site opens the way you left it.duskWhisperAt: a timestamp, so the one-line evening prompt offering to dim the page appears at most once a month.
Both stay on your device. Clearing site data in your browser removes them, and the site works normally without them.
The view on the homepage
The view of Santa Monica Bay is drawn by your own browser from the sun's position over Los Angeles and your device's clock. It loads no images and sends nothing anywhere.
