What we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies or any third-party tracking. Everything above is needed to make the app work or to remember a choice you made, so we do not show a cookie banner. If you choose Google sign-in, Google may set its own cookies on its own sign-in pages. If we ever add anything else, we will ask first and update this page.
Removing it
You can delete your saved work from the Your data page, or clear site data in your browser settings. Clearing site data removes your work from this device.
