No cookies, one anonymous count, and four things remembered for one tab.
The plain version
This site sets no cookies. There is no consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
One page view is counted here, and it is counted without a cookie. It records which page opened and when, roughly where in the world you are, and which kind of browser you used — and then it stops. It is a tally, not a file about you.
Your address is not part of it. Neither is anything that could tell you apart from anybody else on a second visit, so nothing here can follow you from one day to the next, or to any other site.
The company that does the counting is in the Netherlands, so none of it leaves the EU. It is the only company anything on this site is loaded from.
If your browser is set to Do Not Track, none of this happens. You are not counted at all, and you do not have to ask us for that.
Four things are stored in the browser tab you are reading this in. None of them is an identifier, none of them leaves your device, and all four are gone when you close the tab.
What that costs you: this site cannot remember anything for you. Close the tab and it has forgotten you were here.
The four things this site asks your browser to remember
Browsers have a second kind of storage that belongs to one tab and one tab only. Close the tab and it is not expired, it is gone. This site uses four of those.
- The opening on the front page.
- The homepage opens with a short animation. A mark records that it has run, so it plays once while you are here.
- A notice shown once.
- A page notice appears the first time you meet it. A mark keeps it from appearing again for the length of the visit.
- A drawing that runs once.
- One illustration draws itself when it comes into view. A mark keeps it from starting over.
- An address handed between two forms.
- If you typed your email address in one place and were carried to the sign-up form, the address travelled that way. It is deleted the moment the form reads it.
None of the four is an identifier. None leaves your device, none is read on our server, and none can tell one visitor from another. There is no other storage either: nothing on this site is built to outlive the tab.
Why there is no banner
European law asks a site to get your permission before it stores anything on your device or reads something already there. There is nothing in these four to protect, so a banner would be asking your permission for four marks that say nothing about you.
The counting is the same answer. Permission is owed for what a site keeps on your device, and the count keeps nothing there — so there is nothing to agree to and no box to tick.
If you would rather leave nothing behind at all, closing the tab does it, and so does a private window.
The cookie that used to be here
Until 5 September 2026 this site sat behind a passphrase, and one cookie recorded that you had typed it.
The passphrase came down on that date and the cookie went with it. This site now sets none at all.
If your browser still holds the old one, nothing here reads it. Clearing site data for tembral.com removes it.
The app, and where the rest of this is written
This page is about the website. The iPhone app is not a browser, and it sets no cookies either.
- What we hold about you, and how to make us delete it.
- The privacy notice
- Every company that touches any of it, and where.
- The subprocessors page
What the counting costs you: one request leaves your browser to another company, on every page here — this one, and the safety page too. It carries the address of the page and nothing that says who you are.
