Cookie Policy

Short version

We set no cookies of any kind — not necessary ones, not functional ones, not any.
We store two values in local storage: your theme and your text size.
Neither value is transmitted to us or to anyone else.
No advertising trackers, no analytics scripts, no social media pixels, no fingerprinting.
Two external services load resources on some pages: Google Fonts, and Google Maps on the contact page only.

Cookies and local storage: the difference that matters

A cookie is a small file that your browser attaches to every subsequent request to the site that set it. Because cookies travel back to the server automatically, they can be used to recognize a returning visitor and to build a record of behaviour over time.

Local storage is a key-and-value store that stays in the browser. It is not attached to requests and is not sent anywhere unless a script deliberately reads it and transmits it. Ours does not. The practical consequence is that we could not identify you from these values even if we wanted to — they never reach us.

What we store

Everything this site places in your browser
Key	Value	Purpose	Lifetime	Sent to us?
`examit-theme`	`light` or `dark`	Remembers the colour theme you chose so the site does not revert on your next visit	Until you clear browsing data	No
`examit-size`	`s`, `m` or `l`	Remembers your chosen text size	Until you clear browsing data	No

That is the complete list. There is no third key, no session identifier and no analytics token. If you inspect your browser’s storage for examit.club and find something else, we would like to know about it.

Why there is no consent banner

Consent requirements attach to the collection and use of personal information. The two values above are not personal information, are not transmitted, and are set only in response to a deliberate action by you — pressing the theme or text-size control. Nothing is stored if you never touch those controls.

Interrupting every visitor with a modal dialogue to obtain permission for something that never leaves their own browser would be theatre. We would rather explain what happens on a page you can read at your own pace, which is this one. Our position is that a consent banner is a poor substitute for not collecting the data in the first place.

Third-party content

Google Fonts — all pages

The typefaces used on this site, Crimson Text and Instrument Sans, are served from Google’s font service. When a page loads, your browser requests the font files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, which means Google receives the request, including your IP address. Google states that it does not set cookies for font requests. We use this service because self-hosting fonts across a site of this size is a maintenance burden we cannot reliably carry; if that changes, we will move the fonts onto our own servers and update this page.

Google Maps — contact page only

The map on the contact page is embedded from Google Maps. When that map loads, Google may set cookies and collect information under its own privacy policy, over which we have no control. This is the only page on the site that loads a third-party embed of this kind. The address, transit directions and access information are all given in plain text on the same page, so nothing is lost if you block the embed.

Nothing else

There are no advertising networks, no tag managers, no heat-mapping tools, no chat widgets, no video embeds, no comment systems and no social media buttons anywhere on this site. We do not use third-party analytics; our understanding of how the site is used comes from anonymized server logs, described in the privacy policy.

Removing the stored values

Clearing site data for examit.club in your browser removes both values immediately. The exact wording varies:

Chrome and Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions, then find examit.club and delete.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data, then remove examit.club.
Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data, then remove examit.club.
Any browser: browsing in a private or incognito window discards the values when the window closes.

Removing them resets the site to its default appearance, which follows your operating system’s light or dark preference.

If you block storage entirely

The site works normally. Every guide, worksheet, template, filter, search box and print layout functions with storage blocked. The only difference is that your theme and text-size choices will not persist between visits, so you will need to set them again each time. The code that writes these values fails silently by design rather than producing an error.

Changes to this policy

If we ever introduce a cookie or a third piece of stored data, this page will be updated before the change goes live and the change will be described in the news section. We have no plans to do so. Questions about anything here can go to info@examit.club.
