In one sentence
No tracking, no adverts, just one small note about which ridiculous mode you left the lab in.
Tracking cookies

This website does not set analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, so we don't ask for cookie consent. If that ever changes, we will update this page and ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
What we do store in your browser
The serious bit
When a press of the DO NOT PRESS button switches on a colour or font mode (such as green-screen or Comic Sans), your browser's local storage saves which mode is on, so it's still on when you come back. You switched it on, so this is a setting you asked for, and it never leaves your device.
