Looking in the browser devtools it seems to be a three.js application.

Looking into the dev tools also reveals that the page tries to load Google Analytics without consent. Not cool.
I'm sorry, I forgot about that. I removed Google Analytics from my personal website just now.
What an absurdly high bar that 99% of the sites on HN certainly don’t reach.
The law?
Laws are different in different countries. The internet is in all of them.

What is it that you’re looking for, a useless “this site uses cookies” warning? That can mean anything, from a site that has a simple login feature, to a site that participates in a network that tracks you across the internet. The legal requirement for that notification is a great example of futile regulation that achieves nothing but globally wasted productivity. It’s like having to warn people that you breathe - regulators focused on the wrong common factor.

If you care enough about the issue, there are plenty of off-the-shelf blockers you can install.

I didn't think it worth mentioning because it's blocked by uBlock Origin anyway ;)
