1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide anonymous reporting data.
2. How We Use Cookies & Storage
We believe in data sovereignty and minimalism. We only use essential functional storage and anonymous aggregated analytics:
Essential Preference Storage (localStorage)
extra_cookie_consent: Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies so you are not prompted repeatedly on every page load.
Anonymous Aggregate Web Analytics
We use privacy-friendly Vercel Analytics to understand total visitor counts, referral sources, and button clicks without recording personal identities or tracking across other websites.
3. What We Do NOT Use
To maintain absolute transparency:
- Zero Advertising Cookies: We do not serve advertisements, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking pixels.
- Zero Third-Party Data Brokers: Your browsing activity is never packaged, sold, or shared with commercial data brokers.
- Zero Desktop Telemetry via Cookies: Desktop software actions executed by Extra run strictly on your local machine and have no interaction with web cookies.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies at any time via the cookie banner at the bottom of our website, or by configuring your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
For questions regarding our cookies policy, please review our full Privacy Policy or contact us on GitHub Discussions.
