Cookies and Browser Storage

Last reviewed 10 September 2026

This website sets no cookies. It runs no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and no session tracking, and it asks you to accept nothing. There is no consent banner here because there is nothing to consent to - adding one would be theatre, not compliance.

That is a claim you can check: every page of vericue.dev is a static file, and no response it sends carries a Set-Cookie header. This page lists everything the site does store or load, so you can compare it against what your browser reports.

What is stored on your device

Two entries, both in localStorage, both first-party, both holding a display preference and nothing else. Neither is ever sent to a server, to us or to anyone else.

• vericue-theme - marketing pages. Holds the literal value light or dark. Written only when you click the theme toggle; the site has no default entry and does not write one on arrival. Category: preference. Lifetime: until you clear site data. No transfer to any third party.
• vitepress-theme-appearance - the documentation at /docs/. The same dark/light preference, written by the documentation theme when you use its toggle. Category: preference. Lifetime: until you clear site data. No transfer to any third party.

Nothing else is written: no sessionStorage, no IndexedDB, no cookies, no local identifiers of any kind. Both entries are set as a direct result of an action you took, are used only to render the page you asked for, and can be removed by clearing site data for vericue.dev. The site works normally without them - you simply get the default theme again.

Third parties your browser contacts

Loading a page means requesting files, and a request reveals your IP address and browser to whoever serves it. These are the parties involved.

Google Fonts

The marketing pages load their typefaces from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, operated by Google. The documentation at /docs/ does not: it ships its fonts with the site and contacts nobody. They set no cookies on our pages, but making the request means Google receives your IP address, your user agent and the address of the page requesting the font, and that data may be processed outside the EEA. We consider this the one third-party contact the site still makes, and we are moving these files onto our own servers so that it stops making it. This page will say so when that is done.

Cloudflare

vericue.dev and dl.vericue.dev are served by Cloudflare, which is our hosting and delivery provider and a processor acting on our instructions. Delivering a page necessarily means Cloudflare handles the request, including your IP address, and records it in server logs used for security and troubleshooting. Cloudflare also enables browser network error reporting (the Report-To and NEL response headers), which asks your browser to report failed connections to Cloudflare. None of this places a cookie or an identifier on your device.

YouTube

The video page does not embed a player. If a video is configured, a still placeholder is shown and the player at www.youtube.com is created only after you click it - so no request reaches YouTube, and none of YouTube's own storage is created, unless you deliberately start the video. At the time of this review no video is configured, so the page contacts YouTube not at all.

Forms

The contact form submits to our own endpoint on vericue.dev when you press send, and only then. It sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser. What happens to the details you enter is described in the Privacy Policy.

Why there is no consent banner

Consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive is required for storing or reading information on your device when that storage is not strictly necessary for a service you explicitly requested. The two entries above are written only in response to your own click, exist only to render the page the way you asked for it, and never leave your browser, so they fall within that exemption. Nothing else is stored, and no non-essential tracking is loaded before or after any consent - because none is loaded at all.

If that ever changes - if we add analytics, or anything that identifies a visitor - we will ask before it loads, offer refusal as plainly as acceptance, let you change your mind afterwards, and this page will describe it. A check in our build refuses a change that introduces tracking or a new third-party host without updating this page, so the inventory above cannot quietly fall behind the site.

Your browser

You can block or clear storage for this site from your browser's settings at any time, without losing access to anything. Nothing on this site is gated on storage being available.
