Cookies

Cookies that are necessary to provide what you asked for are set without asking, because without them the site cannot do what you came here for. Everything else waits for your answer, and nothing in those categories loads until you give one. You can change that answer at any time using the cookie button in the corner of any page.

Necessary

What the site needs to work at all - staying signed in, keeping a form attached to you, and stopping the same browser voting twice. These cannot be turned off, and none of them follow you anywhere else.

Name	Set by	Purpose	Lifetime
xtremetop300-session	xtremetop300	Keeps you signed in and keeps a form you are filling in attached to you. Encrypted.	120 minutes
XSRF-TOKEN	xtremetop300	Proves a form was submitted from this site and not from somewhere pretending to be you.	Session
xt_consent	xtremetop300	Remembers the answer you gave on this panel, so you are not asked again.	1 year
xt_device	xtremetop300	A random token, tied to nothing else, so the same browser cannot vote twice for one server in a day. It contains no account, name or address.	400 days
remember_web_*	xtremetop300	Set only if you tick "remember me" when signing in.	5 years

Analytics — only with your consent

Measures how the site is used so it can be improved. Nothing in this category is loaded until you allow it.

Name	Set by	Purpose	Lifetime
_ga	Google Analytics	Tells one visitor apart from another.	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics	Keeps the state of a single visit and when it started.	2 years

Your light or dark theme preference is kept in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie, and never leaves your device.

What we keep when you answer

We have to be able to demonstrate that you agreed, so each answer is written down: what you chose, when, which version of this page it was given against, and your address with its last part removed — enough to corroborate the record, not enough to identify you. Changing your mind writes a new record rather than editing the old one, so the history stays readable. Records are deleted after two years.

Voting is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which is used here specifically because it works without setting tracking cookies.

You can clear or block these in your browser. Blocking the necessary ones means you will not be able to stay signed in, and voting will not work — not as a penalty, but because the vote check has nothing left to work with.
