Cookie policy

Last updated:

This website stores nothing on your device

We set no cookies at all. Not analytics cookies, not advertising cookies, not even “strictly necessary” ones. We also write nothing to localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB, and we load no resource from any third-party server that could set a cookie on our behalf.

Why there is no consent banner

Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended by 2009/136/EC) requires consent before storing information on, or gaining access to information already stored in, a user's terminal equipment — except where it is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has explicitly requested.

That obligation is triggered by storing or reading something on your device. We do neither. There is therefore nothing to ask you to consent to, and a banner would be theatre: a dialogue asking permission for something that is not happening. Consent under Article 4(11) and Article 7 GDPR must in any case be specific and informed, and asking you to consent to nothing satisfies neither.

We took the other available route. Rather than collecting data and then asking permission, we removed the collection. The site works identically whether or not you would have clicked “accept”, because there was never anything behind the button.

How to verify this yourself

Do not take our word for it. Every modern browser will show you exactly what a page stored, in under a minute.

Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers

  1. Press F12 (or Ctrl+Shift+I; on a Mac Cmd+Option+I) to open developer tools.
  2. Open the Application tab.
  3. In the left sidebar under Storage, click Cookies. The entry for veldovna.online will be empty.
  4. Still in that sidebar, check Local storage, Session storage and IndexedDB. All three are empty.
  5. Reload the page with the panel open to confirm nothing appears during loading.

Firefox

  1. Press F12 to open developer tools.
  2. Open the Storage tab.
  3. Check Cookies, Local Storage, Session Storage and Indexed DB. All are empty for this domain.

Safari

  1. Enable the Develop menu: Safari → Settings → Advanced, tick Show features for web developers.
  2. Open Develop → Show Web Inspector, then the Storage tab.

Check that no third party is contacted either

  1. Open developer tools and select the Network tab.
  2. Reload the page.
  3. Look at the Domain column — you may need to enable it by right-clicking the column headings. Every request is to veldovna.online. There is no request to any font service, CDN, analytics endpoint or ad network.
  4. Look at the Response headers of the document request. There is no Set-Cookie header.

You can also read the site's two JavaScript files directly — /js/site.js and /js/cta.js. They are short, unminified and commented. Search them for cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage or fetch: there are no such calls.

What cookies are, for reference

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later requests. Cookies have legitimate uses — keeping you logged in, remembering a shopping basket — and they are also the basic mechanism behind cross-site advertising profiles. A site like this one, which has no login, no basket and no advertising network, has no honest need for any of them.

What happens when you follow a partner link

Some links on this site lead to a merchant. That link is marked as a partner link. When you follow it you leave veldovna.online, and the merchant's site may set its own cookies on its own domain, typically to record that the visit came from us so that a commission can be attributed. That is the merchant's processing under the merchant's policy, and it happens after you have left this site. We receive no information about you from it.

If you would rather not have that happen, do not follow the link — go to the merchant directly by typing its address. Nothing on this site is withheld from you for declining.

Managing cookies in general

Although this site sets none, you may want to control them elsewhere. Every browser lets you view, block and delete cookies from its privacy or site-data settings, and all of them offer a private-browsing mode that discards site data when the window closes. Blocking third-party cookies by default is a sensible setting that breaks very little.

Changes

If this ever changed — if we added anything that stored data on your device — we would update this page, change the date above, and implement a proper consent mechanism before the storage occurred, not after. Until that notice appears, the position above holds.
