Add Terms, Privacy, and Security links to the website footer and remove the experimental cookie consent popup to avoid cross-site consent drift with github.com. Gate Hydro analytics loading on browser privacy signals (Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control) so tracking-disabled users are respected without adding custom consent state. Update website security notes to match the current non-modal rendering flow.

Why
The website needs standard GitHub legal links in the footer, and it should avoid loading analytics when users have browser-level tracking opt-out enabled.
What changed
Terms,Privacy, andSecuritylinks to the website footer.navigator.doNotTrack/window.doNotTrack/navigator.msDoNotTrack)navigator.globalPrivacyControl)website/README.mdsecurity notes so the sanitization note reflects current detail/file-browser rendering flow.Notes for reviewers
This is intentionally a lightweight privacy guardrail: analytics loading is skipped when browser signals indicate tracking should be disabled, without introducing a custom consent-management UX on this site.
