Third-party services
Google Fonts serves this site’s typefaces; your browser connects to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com directly to fetch them.
Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a form submission (voting, membership applications, admin login) isn’t automated, and may set its own cookie to do so.
PayPal may set its own cookies if you click through to make a donation; that happens entirely on PayPal’s site.
