Cookies & site storage

The current, honest answer
This site sets no cookies and loads no advertising or analytics trackers. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to — nonessential tracking simply isn't present.
What the site does store
A few strictly functional values live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device:
| Key | Purpose | Sent anywhere? |
|---|---|---|
bre-fb-* | Remembers that you already answered "was this helpful?" on an article | No |
| Announcement dismissals | Keeps a dismissed announcement bar dismissed | No |
If this ever changes
If we add analytics, it will be a privacy-respecting, cookieless option, disclosed here and in the privacy policy before it ships. If anything ever genuinely requires consent, a real consent control will appear before it loads — not after.
