Cookie policy
There is no cookie banner on this site. This page explains why, and shows you how to check that the claim is true.
This website stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it. No cookies, no local storage, no session storage, no IndexedDB, no cache-based tracking, no fingerprinting.
1. What a cookie is, and why sites use them
A cookie is a small piece of data a website asks your browser to keep and hand back on the next request. Cookies are what let a shop remember your basket or a site keep you signed in. They are also the mechanism behind most audience measurement and advertising tracking, which is why they attract the attention of the law. The same rules cover the other ways a site can store data on your device — localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, cache tricks and device fingerprinting — not only cookies in the strict sense.
2. What this site uses
Nothing from that list. Specifically:
| Technique | Used here? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First-party cookies | No | The server sends no Set-Cookie header for any page. |
| Third-party cookies | No | There are no third-party resources on the site at all, so nothing can set one. |
localStorage / sessionStorage | No | The site’s single script does not reference either. |
| IndexedDB | No | Not used. |
| Analytics (any vendor) | No | No Google Analytics, no Matomo, no self-hosted alternative. |
| Advertising or conversion pixels | No | No Meta pixel, no Microsoft UET tag, no Google tag. |
| Device fingerprinting | No | No canvas, font, audio or WebGL probing. |
| Embedded fonts, maps, video, social widgets | No | System fonts only; no embeds of any kind. |
| Web server access log | Yes | Not a cookie and not stored on your device. It records your IP address on the server. Covered in the privacy policy. |
3. Why there is no consent banner
Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, as implemented in Czech law, requires consent before a service stores information on, or gains access to information already stored in, a user’s terminal equipment — with narrow exemptions for what is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested.
We do neither. We store nothing and we access nothing. Since there is no storage and no access, there is nothing for you to consent to, and a banner asking for that consent would be theatre. A cookie banner is not a compliance measure in itself; it is the consequence of a decision to track. We took the other decision.
Because we measure nothing, we genuinely do not know how many people read this site, which pages they read or where they came from. We regard that as an acceptable price. It also means we can never "lose" data about you, because there is none to lose.
4. How to verify this yourself
Do not trust a claim like this because a page makes it. It takes half a minute to check. In Chrome or Edge press F12 (on a Mac, Cmd+Option+I); in Firefox the same keys open the developer tools.
- Storage. In Chrome or Edge open the Application tab and look at Storage in the left-hand sidebar: Cookies, Local Storage, Session Storage and IndexedDB should all be empty for
novatova.online. In Firefox the same information is under the Storage tab. - Response headers. Open the Network tab, reload the page with F5, click the first entry in the list and read the response headers. There is no
Set-Cookieheader. You can confirm the same thing from a terminal withcurl -I https://novatova.online/. - Third-party requests. Still in the Network tab, look at the Domain column for the whole page load. Every single request goes to
novatova.online. Nothing goes to a font service, a CDN, an analytics endpoint or an ad server. - The script itself. Read /js/cta.js — it is the only JavaScript on the site, it is about sixty lines of commented source, and it is not minified precisely so that you can read it. Search it for
cookie,localStorage,fetchorXMLHttpRequest; none appear except in the comment explaining that they are not used.
5. What the one script on this site does
/js/cta.js has a single job. If you arrived with campaign parameters in the address bar, it copies those same parameters onto the outbound partner link so the advertiser can attribute the click, and it makes sure the link keeps its rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" marking. It reads nothing from your device, stores nothing and sends no network request. If you block JavaScript entirely, the site works normally; the links simply go to the partner without those parameters.
6. Third-party sites you reach from here
When you follow a partner link you leave this domain. Advertisers and their affiliate networks do generally use cookies for attribution, and they will ask you for consent where they are required to. Their practices are theirs, governed by their own cookie and privacy notices, and we have no control over and no visibility into them.
7. If this ever changes
If we ever introduce anything that stores or reads data on your device, we will publish a proper consent mechanism that asks you before anything is stored, update this page and change the date at the top. Questions: info@novatova.online.
