Categories of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Storage
Required for core website functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent choice and preserving dynamic directory filter parameters as you browse projects.
2. Functional & Preference Storage
Remembers UI preferences, such as expanded filter sidebars, category selections, and recently viewed open-source repositories.
3. Privacy-Respecting Analytics
Aggregated, cookieless metrics measuring total directory page views and search queries to prioritize repository indexing. No cross-site profiling.
