Cookies

Cookies are small text files a website can place on your device to remember your preferences or measure usage, for example. Besides cookies, a site can also use other browser storage techniques, such as local storage (localStorage), which is technically not a cookie but serves a similar purpose. This page explains what this site places — and what it does not.

The current state

Google Analytics 4 already measures visits to every page — see the next section for what that means. No advertising cookies are set: no advertising network is active. On an ordinary visit the only thing stored locally in your browser is your choice to close the language suggestion — technically necessary storage that works independently of consent. One exception, named here rather than passed over in silence: gr_int, our own exclusion for internal visits, so that our test traffic does not end up in the figures. It is written only when you deliberately open a page with ?internal=1 appended — as a cookie with a lifetime of one year, and additionally in local storage — and the measurement code reads it on every page view. On an ordinary visit nothing is written, and nothing on this site links to it. It holds a single flag and nothing about you; you delete it by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Why there is no consent banner

There is nothing here to consent to. Every storage signal for analytics and advertising (including personalisation) is already denied by default for every visitor, in every country — one denial, with no regional exceptions — and the site carries no consent banner that could change that. Google Analytics 4 runs cookieless: measurement happens without ever setting such a cookie.

A consent banner earns its place when there is something — a cookie, an identifier — to ask permission for. There is nothing of the kind here right now. If analytics or advertising storage is ever switched on, it will happen through a real consent mechanism, and this page will be updated before that happens.

In short: this site sets no analytics or advertising cookies. Google Analytics 4 is running but leaves no cookie behind; advertising does not exist at all yet. If that changes, this page will be updated at the same time.
