Draft for review, last updated 10 November 2026
We set no cookies.
That’s why there’s no cookie banner. patchlabs.dev runs no analytics, no advertising and no tracking pixels.
01What your browser does store
Two small items in your browser’s localStorage. They never leave your device except as described, and we can’t read them from our side.
| Name | Purpose | Set when | Removed when |
|---|---|---|---|
pl_session | Keeps you signed in. Sent to our API as an Authorization header, never as a cookie. | You sign in | You sign out or clear site data. Our API stops accepting it after 30 days. |
pl_theme | Remembers light or dark mode. | You press the theme button | You clear site data |
Both are strictly necessary for something you asked for (staying signed in, keeping your theme), so UK law (PECR) does not require a consent banner for them.
02Files loaded from other services
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com), and the report page loads two open-source libraries from cdnjs (cdnjs.cloudflare.com). Those requests go to the providers’ own domains, which see your IP address and browser details. patchlabs.dev does not ask them to set cookies, and any they use are governed by their own policies. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which keeps standard server logs.
03How to clear it
Sign out to remove pl_session. To remove everything, clear “site data” for patchlabs.dev in your browser settings. The site works without either item: you’ll just need to sign in again, and the theme will follow your device setting.
04If this changes
If we ever add analytics, we’ll use a cookieless, self-hosted tool, update this page first and say so on the changelog. More in the privacy policy.
