Privacy and zero cookies

This site was built with strict respect for user privacy. We do not use profiling or advertising retargeting cookies. Your spoiler preferences (the episode you have reached) are stored only in your browser via Local Storage: your progress never leaves your device.

Anonymous telemetry

We only use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, first-party measurement tools built into the hosting service. They record anonymous technical data (page views, country of origin, loading times) solely to monitor the site's stability and improve the experience. No personally identifiable data is collected or sold to third parties.
