The public site does not use browser localStorage, sessionStorage, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or advertising pixels. Google font files are packaged at build time and served by the site rather than requested from Google by each visitor.
Resend open tracking and click tracking are disabled. The production Contact Turnstile widget uses no pre-clearance, so it is not configured to issue a clearance cookie merely because the form security check succeeds.
External destinations such as Instagram, Substack, Stripe or affiliate sites may use their own technologies after you choose to visit them. They are not embedded as trackers on ordinary Simply Doing AI pages.
