What we store, and what we don’t.

We do not run Google Analytics, advertising or marketing pixels, session-replay tools, or any third-party embeds or iframes on this site. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not build advertising profiles.

The one thing we store in your browser is your cookie-consent choice itself — a small preference record (under the key wentzel.consent.v1) so the banner doesn’t ask again on every page. It is strictly necessary, written only after you make a choice, and contains no identifiers.

How consent works depends on where you appear to be connecting from, which we infer from your network region at our edge:

• •EU, EEA, the UK, and Switzerland: you see a consent banner first, and nothing non-essential would load until you agree (today there is nothing non-essential to load).
• •Everywhere else: you get this notice and a standing way to opt out at any time, without a blocking banner.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out of every non-essential category automatically — you don’t have to click anything.

You can revisit or change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, or right here:

When you run the repository scanner, we store only the public repository URL you submit plus a scan id, timestamp, and status — nothing that identifies you. A coarse, IP-based counter limits how often the scanner can be triggered to prevent abuse.

CARL is a Wentzel.ai standards-house project. For the standard itself, see the published spec.
