Cookie Policy
Last updated: 22 August 2026
Short version: 0xprogramming.com sets no cookies at all. It uses exactly one browser local-storage key, listed below, and nothing on the site is loaded from a third-party server.
1. What we store
| Key | Mechanism | Category | Purpose | Strictly necessary | Scope | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0xp.notice.storage | localStorage | Web Storage item (not an HTTP cookie) | Records that you dismissed the storage notice, so it is not shown on every page | Yes. It stores only notice-dismissal state requested by the visitor. | First-party only, under 0xprogramming.com | Persistent until you clear site storage (no automatic expiry) |
This key is strictly necessary for the function you asked for (not seeing the notice again) and stores no identifier, account ID or tracking value, only an ISO timestamp. It is never sent in HTTP headers because it is not a cookie. Under the ePrivacy Directive and § 1031 of the Estonian Electronic Communications Act, storage of this kind requires disclosure but not prior consent, which is why you see a notice rather than a consent wall.
2. What we do not use
- No Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Matomo or any other analytics script.
- No advertising or conversion pixels — no Meta pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no Microsoft UET tag.
- No social-media embeds, no chat widgets, no A/B testing tools, no session recording.
- No third-party fonts or CDN scripts: fonts and all assets are served from our own domain, so no request leaves it while you browse.
If we ever add measurement, we will ask for consent first through a proper opt-in banner, and this page will list every key before the tool goes live — not after.
3. Server-side logging
Independently of browser storage, our API keeps a short technical log of requests for security and debugging: endpoint, method, status code, timestamp, user agent and a salted, pseudonymized hash-derived IP identifier. That log is not a cookie, cannot be opted out of without also refusing to use the site, is kept for 90 days and is described in the Privacy Policy.
4. Clearing or resetting this storage
To clear it, remove site data for 0xprogramming.com in your browser settings, or use browser developer tools: Application (or Storage) → Local Storage → delete 0xp.notice.storage.
To reset it without clearing anything else, delete only that one key. Nothing on the site breaks if you do — the storage notice simply appears again on your next page load.
