0xTsoa uses Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2 (when configured) to measure aggregate visitor counts, active users, and engagement time. Analytics storage is denied by default until you explicitly accept, and advertising and personalization signals remain permanently denied; however, Google Consent Mode v2 still sends cookieless pings to Google before consent is granted. You can accept, decline, or update your preference at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
