    h2 Compiler Explorer Cookie Policy

      | Browsers support the storing and sending back of small text files called "Cookies". These cookie files can be
      | used (amongst other things) to help track the usage of a website. See

      a(href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies"

    p
      | Compiler Explorer uses Google Analytics, which in turn uses cookies. Google Analytics allows us to see how many
      | individual users there are, how often users visit us, the average amount of time spent on the
      | site, the frequency and distribution of compilers selected, and so on. It is invaluable in helping us make
      | decisions in prioritising work on the site. It's important to note that these cookies are anonymous: we don't know
      | who each individual user is. Our Google Analytics settings prevent data being retained for more than 14 months. The
      | cookie stored is a first party cookie: you will find it in your browser under "godbolt.org" cookies.

    p
      | Your privacy is important to us, and you may opt out of this tracking at any time using the buttons on this dialog,
      | with no loss of access or functionality of Compiler Explorer.

    h2 #[span(style="color: darkslategray") Necessary] Local Storage

    p
      | To store your preferred options between sessions, such as your input code and user interface layout, we make use of
      | your browser's local storage, where we place:

    ul
      li The current page state, such as:
        ul
          li Your current code
          li Selected compilers and their options
          li Pane layout
          li Font sizes
      li Your settings as shown in the settings popup (which can be found at: More > Settings), such as:
        ul
          li Your theme selection
          li The default language
          li Compile-as-you-type settings

    p
    | Note that the usage of local storage is necessary for the proper functioning of the site, and it won't be disabled
    | if you choose to not grant cookie usage consent. This information is not used to track any user identifying
    | information. The data stored locally is only that required by the site to function.
