The cookies that keep the site running: they remember Light/Dark mode, save this very cookie choice, and count anonymous views. Without them, the site would "forget" you on every reload.
If on, they help us see which articles people read most so we can write better — fully anonymous and aggregated, never identifying you.
For personalizing content and measuring ads. Honestly: Arikita runs no ads at all right now, so this one is here for the future.
