Cookie policy.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a tiny text file a website stores on your device so it can remember something between visits — your color-mode preference, whether you've already dismissed a banner, that kind of thing. Some cookies are set by the site you're visiting (us); some are set by third parties whose tools the site loads. This page covers both, plus a couple of related browser-storage mechanisms (localStorage, sessionStorage) that work similarly.

2. Kinds we use

We sort them into three buckets:

• Strictly necessary.Required for the site to work — load balancing, security, anti-abuse. You can't opt out of these without breaking the site.
• Preferences. Remember your choices on this site — color mode, dismissed banners, beaker-animation reduced-motion override. Optional, but the site is friendlier with them.
• Analytics. Count aggregate visits so we can tell which pages people read. We use a privacy-respecting tool that does not identify you individually; see Analytics.

We do notuse advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking. We don't load social-network “like” buttons that phone home.

3. What's set today

None.As of the effective date above, this site sets no cookies. We're keeping the category framing from the section above so the shape of the document is the same shape you'll see when something does land — a color-mode preference, an analytics provider's identifier, an anti-abuse session record.

When a cookie gets added, it appears in a table here with its name, category, purpose, and lifetime, and the “Effective” date at the top moves.

Note: if you visit a third-party page we link to (a product app, a partner site), that site sets its own cookies under its own policy. This page is only about cab-labs.co.

4. Analytics

We have not added an analytics provider yet. When we do, the section above will list any cookie it sets and this paragraph will name the provider. The provider we pick will be configured to:

• Not set persistent identifying cookies.
• Not store IP addresses in a personally identifiable form.
• Not share data with advertisers or third-party trackers.

The level we want is “the about page got 412 views from desktop visitors in the US this week,” not “you, specifically, read the about page.”

5. Managing cookies

You can control cookies at any time in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data.

Blocking all cookies will not break the site today. If preference cookies are added later (a color-mode choice, a dismissed banner), blocking them will mean those preferences don't persist between visits. You can also clear site data for cab-labs.co specifically if you want a clean slate.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There's no industry-wide standard for how to interpret it, so we treat it as a general signal of preference: we don't load anything that would identify you individually whether the signal is on or off. The settings on this page apply equally either way.

7. Changes to this policy

If we add a new cookie or change what an existing one does, we'll update the table above and the “Effective” date. For material changes — say, switching analytics providers — we'll also call it out in the next newsletter or at the top of the site.
