Cookie Policy

We don't set any HTTP cookies. Instead, we use localStorage — a small key-value store built into your browser — to remember a handful of preferences locally on your device. None of these values are sent to a server. They stay in your browser until you clear them.

To be explicit, Modern Scholar does not use any of the following:

• Google Analytics or any other analytics product.
• Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or other social-media tracking pixels.
• Advertising cookies or ad-personalization tags.
• Cross-site tracking pixels of any kind.
• Third-party consent or cookie-banner tooling.

Because we don't run non-essential tracking, there is no consent banner — there's nothing to consent to. If we ever add analytics or another non-essential tracker, we'll update this policy and put a proper consent flow in place first.

Because everything we store lives in your browser, you control it. We don't provide an in-app clear button — your browser already has the right tools:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data. Or open DevTools → Application → Storage → Local storage → right-click the entry for this site → Clear.
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for the site → Remove. Or enable the Develop menu and use Develop → Web Inspector → Storage.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data. Or open DevTools → Storage → Local Storage and delete entries.

Clearing these values won't break the site. The next time you visit, it'll behave as if you were a first-time visitor — you'll see the default theme and an empty comparison list.

If we ever change what we store in your browser — for example, by adding analytics or a newsletter signup — we'll update this page, bump the "Last updated" date at the top, and surface a notice on the homepage for 14 days so returning visitors don't miss it.
