Cookie policy

AROWANIE INSPIRE s.r.o.In force since 18 September 2026Version 2.0

In one sentence

This website stores nothing whatsoever on your device — no cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no IndexedDB, no service worker cache — and it loads nothing from any third party, which is why you were not asked to click a consent banner.

1. What a cookie is, and why sites ask

A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later requests. Related technologies — localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, service worker caches — do a similar job by different means. Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended), as implemented in Czech law by Act No. 127/2005 Coll. on electronic communications, storing information on a user’s device or gaining access to information already stored there requires the user’s prior consent, unless it is strictly necessary to provide the service the user asked for.

That rule applies to any storage, not only to things called cookies. It is why the consent banner became universal, and it is why this site does not have one.

2. What this site stores: nothing

TechnologyUsed here?Notes
First-party cookiesNoNot even a cookie to remember a consent choice — there is no choice to remember.
Third-party cookiesNoNo third party can set one, because no third-party resource is ever loaded.
localStorage / sessionStorageNoThe site’s one script never touches either.
IndexedDB / Cache StorageNoNo database and no service worker is registered.
AnalyticsNoNone, self-hosted or otherwise. We do not count visits.
Advertising / conversion pixelsNoNo Microsoft UET tag, Google Ads tag, Meta pixel or affiliate network script.
FingerprintingNoNo canvas, font, audio or hardware probing.
Web fonts, CDN, remote imagesNoSystem fonts only. Every file is served from clarienne.online.

3. Why there is no consent banner

A consent banner exists to obtain the permission that Article 5(3) requires before a site stores or reads something on your device. This site never stores or reads anything on your device, so there is no permission to obtain. Showing you a banner anyway would be theatre, and it would itself usually need a cookie to remember what you clicked.

This also means there is no “reject all” button to hunt for, no preference centre, no legitimate-interest toggles and no consent string passed to hundreds of vendors. The reject-all outcome is the only outcome available here.

4. How to check this for yourself

Please do not take our word for it. It takes about a minute.

Chrome, Edge, Brave or another Chromium browser

  1. Press F12 (or Ctrl+Shift+I; on a Mac Cmd+Option+I) to open developer tools.
  2. Open the Application tab. In the left sidebar under Storage, click Cookies, then Local storage, then Session storage, then IndexedDB. Every one of them is empty for this origin.
  3. Still under Application, click Service workers. None is registered.
  4. Switch to the Network tab and reload the page with Ctrl+F5. Look at the Domain column — you may need to right-click the column headers to add it. Every single request is to clarienne.online. There is no request to Google, to a CDN, or to anyone else.
  5. In the same Network tab, click the document request and look at the Response Headers. There is no Set-Cookie header.

Firefox

  1. Press F12 and open the Storage tab. Cookies, Local Storage, Session Storage, Indexed DB and Cache Storage are all empty for this site.
  2. Open the Network tab, reload, and confirm every row’s domain is clarienne.online.

Safari

  1. Enable the Develop menu: Safari › Settings › Advanced › Show features for web developers.
  2. Open Develop › Show Web Inspector, then the Storage tab, and inspect Cookies, Local Storage, Session Storage and Indexed Databases.
  3. The Network tab shows the domain of every request.

Without opening developer tools

Load the site with a content blocker such as uBlock Origin and open its panel: it will report zero requests blocked and zero third-party domains, because there are none to block.

5. What still happens, in the interests of full disclosure

  • Your browser caches files. The stylesheet, the diagrams and the one script are cached like any static file, so the page loads faster next time. This is ordinary HTTP caching performed by your browser, not storage we write, and it carries no identifier. It falls outside Article 5(3), which concerns storing or accessing information for our purposes.
  • The server writes a log line. Your IP address, the URL and the time are recorded server-side, deleted after about 14 days, and used only to run and secure the site. That is not storage on your device, but it is processing of personal data, and it is described in full in the privacy policy.
  • Advertisers are a different website. When you follow a partner link you leave this site. The advertiser will almost certainly set cookies and show you their own consent banner. That is theirs, governed by their policy, and entirely outside our control.

6. About the one script on this site

The site loads a single JavaScript file, /js/cta.js, served from this domain. You can read the whole of it; it is short and commented. It does two things: it copies any campaign parameter already present in the page URL onto the outgoing partner link so the advertiser can attribute the click, and it re-applies the required rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" attributes and the referrer policy to those links. It contains no call to document.cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage, indexedDB, fetch, XMLHttpRequest or navigator.sendBeacon. The site works correctly with JavaScript disabled entirely.

7. If this ever changes

If we were ever to introduce anything that stores or reads information on your device, we would have to ask for your consent before doing so, and this page would be rewritten first, with a new version number and date at the top. As of the date shown, nothing of the kind is planned.
