Cookie policy

This website stores nothing on your device. No cookies, no local storage of any kind. That is not a promise about how we use cookies — it is a statement that there are none to use. This page explains what that means, why there is therefore no consent banner, and how to check the claim for yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Why there is no consent banner

Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended by 2009/136/EC), transposed in the Czech Republic by Act No. 127/2005 Coll. on electronic communications, requires informed consent before storing information on, or gaining access to information already stored on, a user's terminal equipment. That obligation is triggered by the act of storing or reading. This site does neither.

A consent banner here would be asking permission for something that is not happening. Worse, the overwhelming majority of such banners are themselves the mechanism by which tracking is switched on. We took the other route: we removed the collection, so there is nothing to ask about. No consent is sought because none is required, and no legitimate interest is asserted for storage because no storage occurs.

Verify it yourself

You do not have to trust this page. Every modern browser will show you the truth in well under a minute.

Check for cookies and storage

  1. Open the developer tools: F12, or Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac.
  2. In Chrome or Edge, open the Application tab and look under Storage at Cookies, Local storage, Session storage, IndexedDB and Service workers. In Firefox, open the Storage tab. In Safari, enable the Develop menu in Settings → Advanced, then use Develop → Show Web Inspector and the Storage tab.
  3. Reload this page and click around the site. Every one of those entries should stay empty for veldrim.online.

Check that nothing is loaded from elsewhere

  1. In the same developer tools, open the Network tab.
  2. Reload the page with the tab open.
  3. Look at the Domain column, which you may need to enable by right-clicking the column headers. Every request should be to veldrim.online. There should be no request to Google Fonts, to any CDN, to an analytics host or to an advertising host.
  4. You can also check the response headers of the page itself: there is no Set-Cookie header.

Check the source

Use Ctrl+U (or Cmd+Option+U) to view the page source. There is exactly one script on this site, /js/cta.js, and you can read the whole of it in a minute. It copies click-tracking parameters from the current address onto the outgoing partner link and re-applies the disclosure attributes. It contains no call to document.cookie, no storage API and no network request.

The one exception: what happens after you click a partner link

If you click a labelled partner link, you leave this site. The advertiser's own site will very probably set cookies, because that is how it attributes the sale, and from that point their cookie policy applies and not ours. We cannot control it and we do not pretend to. The choice is entirely yours: no link on this site is followed automatically, and simply reading the site triggers nothing.

The intermediate page at https://veldrim.online/c/1/ that sits between the link and the advertiser sets no cookie of its own and stores nothing.

Your browser controls

You do not need to change any setting for this site, but for completeness: all major browsers allow you to block and delete cookies and site data under their privacy settings, and to browse in a private window where site data is discarded on close. Blocking everything will not affect this site, because it uses none of it.

If you find otherwise

If you ever observe this site storing anything in your browser or making a request to a third-party host, that is a bug or a regression and we want to know immediately. Write to info@veldrim.online with what you saw and we will fix it and say so publicly.
