Cookie policy
The site sets no cookies at all, first-party or third-party.
Current situation
DomusCalc sets no cookies at all, first-party or
third-party. It uses no localStorage, no local databases and no
service workers. There is no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
That is why you will not see a consent banner: there would be nothing to consent to, and a banner that does nothing is just an annoyance.
The one thing that is stored: that you closed the language notice
If your browser is set to a different language from the page, a bar appears suggesting the other version. If you close it, the site remembers so it does not put it in front of you again on every page.

Your browser's session storage (sessionStorage) |
Not showing you a notice you have already dismissed | Until you close the tab. It does not survive closing the browser |
It is worth being precise about what this is and is not. It is not a
cookie: it travels in no request and no server ever sees it. It
identifies nobody: its value is the character 1. It is not used for
analytics, advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking. And it is only written
if you press the close button; leave the notice alone and nothing is stored.
European law requires permission to store or read information on your device except where it is strictly necessary for a service you asked for. Remembering that you dismissed a notice is exactly that, which is why it carries no banner. If you would rather nothing were stored, simply do not close the notice, or block site storage in your browser settings: the site works the same.
Typefaces are now served from this domain
The site's two typefaces, Bricolage Grotesque for headings and Instrument Sans for the interface, used to come from Google Fonts. That meant your browser fetched the files from a Google server and, as with any web request, your IP address went with it.
Not any more. Both are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which expressly allows redistribution, so they are now hosted on domuscalc.com and the design is unchanged. The upshot is that opening a DomusCalc page makes no third-party request at all.
When advertising is switched on
There is no advertising today: the slots are empty and no ad script loads. Google AdSense does use cookies to serve and measure ads, so before it is enabled three things will happen, in this order: a certified consent manager will be installed for visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland; this page will list which cookies they are, what they do and how long they last; and only then will the advertising tags load.
Managing cookies
Even though this site sets none, every browser lets you view, block and delete the cookies you do have from its privacy settings.
How to check for yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. Open your browser's developer tools
(F12), go to the network tab and reload any page: every request goes to
domuscalc.com. In the storage tab the cookie list is empty, and
Session Storage holds nothing unless you dismissed the language
notice.
