Cookies
One cookie. It carries no credential, and it is necessary for the site to work.

What we set
| Name | What it does | How long | Necessary? |
|---|---|---|---|
eselyo.session | Records only that you are signed in — not who you are. The server reads it to avoid rendering a signed-in page for a visitor who has no session. | Until you sign out | Yes |
That is the complete list. There is no analytics on this site, no advertising, no third-party tag, and no tracker of any kind.
What that cookie does not contain
It holds the single character 1. It carries no access token, no identifier, and nothing about you. Your session tokens are held in your browser’s local storage and are never placed in a cookie, so they are never attached automatically to a request — which removes an entire class of cross-site attack.
Because it holds nothing, forging it gains nothing: it changes which page your browser is shown, and every piece of data behind that page is independently protected by the server.
Why we do not show you a consent banner
Because there is nothing to consent to. A cookie strictly necessary to deliver a service you asked for requires no consent, and the one cookie above is the only one we set.
We could show a banner anyway. Most sites do. But a consent banner shown when there is nothing to consent to is not a harmless formality — it teaches people to dismiss consent dialogs without reading them, which makes the next one, the one that actually matters, mean less. We would rather not spend your attention on a question with no content.
The mechanism exists and is dormant. If we ever add anything non-essential, the banner appears before it is set, rejecting will be exactly as easy as accepting, nothing will be pre-ticked, and this page will list it above.
Turning it off
You can block or clear cookies in your browser. Blocking eselyo.session does not expose anything, but it will stop the site knowing you are signed in, so you will be sent to the sign-in page repeatedly.
