This site sets no cookies. That sentence is the whole policy, which makes this page short and makes the rest of it about the thing worth explaining: why there is no banner, and exactly what would have to appear here before there was one.
The count
- Cookies set by this site: 0.
- Cookies set by third parties on this site: none, because no third-party script, font, embed, pixel or ad tag is loaded on any page.
- Local storage, session storage, fingerprinting: none. The calculator holds its numbers in memory and forgets them when the tab closes.
- Persistent identifiers of any kind: 0.
- Consent banner: none, and that is not an omission — see below.
Why there is no banner
Spanish law makes consent a condition of using storage and retrieval devices on your equipment. It is not a condition of running a website. Where nothing is stored and nothing is retrieved, there is nothing to inform you about and nothing to consent to, and a banner asking you to accept cookies that do not exist would be theatre. Two narrow categories are exempt from consent even when they do exist: storage needed purely to carry the communication across the network, and storage strictly necessary to deliver a service you expressly asked for. This site relies on neither exemption, because it uses neither.
The Spanish data protection authority’s guidance is explicit that the exempt list is short — user input, session authentication, security, media playback, load balancing, interface personalisation the user chose — and that consent is required for anything else, first-party or third-party, session or persistent. Audience measurement is not on the exempt list. That is the single most useful fact on this page, and it is the reason this site’s counters were built the way they were rather than as ordinary analytics: a cookie-based counter would have needed a banner, so the counters use no cookie.
How this site counts without one
What is counted, and what is not. This site keeps six aggregate counters in its own database: how many times a page was viewed, which pages people arrive on, which site they arrived from (the site’s name only, never the address they came from), which vendor links are clicked, the calendar day, and requests for pages that do not exist. There is no third-party analytics product, no script from another company, and no request to any other host.
What that counting does not involve is the part worth reading. No cookie is set. No identifier of any kind is created, persistent or otherwise. No IP address is stored, hashed, or derived from — the counters never read one. No user agent, screen size, language or font list is recorded, so nothing here can contribute to a fingerprint. Nothing finer than a calendar day is kept, which is what makes the figures genuinely aggregate: two visits on one day are indistinguishable from one reader’s two page views, and nothing here can tell them apart or wants to.
That is why there is no consent banner, and the reasoning runs one way only: the design came first and the absence of a banner follows from it. Spanish law makes consent a condition of storing or retrieving something on your equipment; this stores and retrieves nothing. European data protection law attaches its duties to personal data; these counters hold none. A design that needed a banner would have had to keep something, and this keeps nothing.
What would appear here first
If this site ever sets a cookie that is not exempt, this page changes before the cookie does. What would appear, in this order:
- A named inventory. Every cookie, who sets it, what it is for, how long it lasts, and whether it is first-party or third-party. Not a category — a name.
- A real choice. Accepting and rejecting presented at the same level, in the same place, with the same number of clicks. Rejecting will never be the harder path, and access to any page here will never be conditional on accepting.
- A way to change your mind. Withdrawing consent as easy as giving it, from a control that stays reachable after the banner is gone.
- Nothing set before you answer. Non-exempt cookies wait for consent; they do not get set on load and cleaned up afterwards.
Advertising is the case that would trigger all four at once, and it is switched off. This section is written in advance so that switching it on is a visible change to a published page rather than a quiet one nobody has to announce.
Your browser, either way
Every major browser can block or delete cookies for any site, including this one. Nothing here depends on cookies, so blocking them changes nothing about how these pages work. That is worth saying plainly: on most sites that advice comes with a warning about broken functionality, and here there is none to break.
How this page is kept true
The claim “zero cookies” is checkable, and it is checked rather than asserted. A gate fetches a real page from the running site and reads the response headers; if anything at all sets a cookie, the check fails and the build stops. It is measured against the site as actually served rather than against the intention of whoever built it, which is the only version of this claim worth printing.
Affiliate disclosure. Pages on this site may carry affiliate links. If one does, and you sign up through it, this site may be paid a referral fee by the vendor. It costs you nothing and does not change what is written — every price here comes from the vendor’s own published page either way.
