Cookie policy

We use only the few cookies the site, the free tool and the console need to work. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, so there is nothing to accept or reject.

The cookies we use

NameSet byWhat it doesHow long
themerunemic.com and its subdomainsRemembers whether you chose light or dark mode.1 year
rk_signed_inrunemic.com and its subdomainsTells the website you are signed in to the console, so it can show "Open console". It contains only "1", no personal data.30 days, or until you sign out
rk_tryapi.runemic.comA random, signed ID that counts the pages you read with the free tool, so it can stay free without being misused. It contains no personal data.30 days

__Host-rk_oauth_stateconsole.runemic.comProtects the sign-in with GitHub or Hugging Face while it is in progress.10 minutes

Other storage in your browser

  • theme in local storage: the same light or dark choice, kept until you clear it.
  • runemic-handoff in session storage: when you drop a page on the home page, it carries the image to the free tool and is deleted as soon as it has been read.

Why there is no cookie banner

All of these are strictly necessary for something you asked for (a sign-in, a free page, your colour theme), so the law does not require consent for them (§ 25(2) TDDDG, Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive). If we ever add a cookie that is not necessary, such as analytics, we will ask you first and update this page.

Removing cookies

You can delete these cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site still works; you will only be signed out, and the theme goes back to your system setting.
