This is a personal website. It has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and no cookies.

What is stored on your device

Your light or dark theme choice is kept in your browser’s localStorage under the key theme-preference. It is read back to render the theme you picked and is never sent anywhere.

The site also registers a service worker, defined in sw.js in the site source. After a page loads, that worker keeps its own copy of the files the page already downloaded: the three.js library, the images and 3D models, and nothing else. On a repeat visit those files are served from your device instead of the network, and a background request refreshes the copy for next time. The cache lives in your browser’s Cache Storage, is never sent anywhere, and is erased when you clear site data for this site.
