Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 30, 2026Overview
This page explains how Privato, accessible at privato.info, handles cookies and similar browser-based storage. Privato is a static editorial resource with minimal technical requirements, and its approach to browser storage reflects that.
What We Use
Privato uses browser localStorage — not traditional HTTP cookies — solely for one functional purpose: to record whether the cookie consent banner has been acknowledged by a visitor. This allows the banner to remain hidden on subsequent page views once a choice has been made.
The key stored is a simple preference value (accepted or declined). It contains no personal data, no identifiers, and is not transmitted to any server or external service. It remains entirely within the visitor's own browser.
What We Do Not Use
Privato does not use any of the following:
- Analytics cookies or analytics software
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Third-party cookies of any kind
- Session recording or heatmap tools
- Tracking pixels or marketing scripts
- Behavioral profiling or cross-site tracking
- Social media tracking integrations
Managing Browser Storage
The localStorage item set by this website can be removed at any time via your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browser's site data. Doing so will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit, as the platform will no longer have a record of your previous preference. No other functionality of the site is affected by clearing this item.
Standard browser settings for cookie and storage management vary by browser. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block specific storage items for individual websites.
Changes to This Policy
This policy will be updated if the technical characteristics of Privato change in a way that affects how browser storage is used. The revision date at the top of this page will reflect any updates.
