Summary

We’re just a small‑scale side project hoping to improve the world in a very small way through spreading the joy of fractals

While we do capture a limited amount of data described below so that we can provide a better experience, we do not sell the data, and our site does not contain any third‑party advertising

If your browser sends it to us, we capture:

We use this data to understand our site’s audience better so that we can better serve you

We also use a cookie to:

Personally identifying information
