Cookie Policy

A shop that asks for nothing at the door should not ask for anything at the page either. This one sets no cookies at all, and the short list below is everything it does keep.

1. This site sets no cookies

Not an advertising cookie, not an analytics cookie, not a functional one. Open your browser's developer tools on any page here and the cookie list is empty.

There is no Google Analytics on this site, no Meta pixel, no advertising tag of any kind, and no session recording tool. Nothing here can follow you to another website. The site does count how many people visit, itself and without a cookie, as section 2 describes.

2. What is kept in your browser

Four things, all of them on your own device and readable only by this site:

• An offline copy of the pages. A service worker keeps the five pages, the stylesheet and the icons so a second visit opens from your disk rather than the network. It holds the site's own files and nothing about you. It is cleared with your browsing data, and it is never installed over an insecure connection.
• One timestamp on the appointment page. When a request is sent, the moment is written down so the same request cannot be sent again within the minute. It is a courtesy against a double tapped button, not a security control, and a browser that refuses to store it is allowed to send anyway.
• A counted mark. The first time a page opens in your browser, the page asks this site for a one time code and sends it straight back, the site adds one to that day's number of visitors, and the page writes a one word mark (va.counted) so your browser is never counted again. No cookie is set, no page address or referrer is sent, and the site keeps no IP address and no identifier for it, only how many people came each day. With Do Not Track switched on, nothing is sent at all.
• Your own browser settings. The reduced motion preference, your zoom level, the text size. The site reads the reduced motion setting to decide whether to animate; reading it stores nothing.

3. Why there is no consent banner

Consent is what a site needs before storing something on your device for its own purposes, above all for advertising or for following you between sites. This site does neither.

The offline copy and the one timestamp are there to make the thing you came for work, and the counted mark only stops the site counting you twice. None of them identifies you or is used to advertise or to follow you. A banner in front of them would be a click in your way and nothing more.

If that ever changes, a banner will appear before the thing it is asking about loads, and refusing will be one click and will work.

4. What a page loads from somewhere else

On every page but one: nothing. Every stylesheet, script, typeface and image comes from adrianojewelry.com. A content security policy on each page enforces that rather than trusting it, so a third party script added carelessly would fail to load rather than quietly begin tracking.

The one exception is the map of the shop on the contact page, which Google Maps draws: when it loads, your browser contacts Google directly, and Google may set its own cookies, as the privacy policy explains. The appointment page sends your request to adrianojewelry.com itself when you press send, and to nobody else.

There is no social media widget, no typeface served from Google, and no video player anywhere on this site.

5. Clearing any of it

Your browser's Clear browsing data control removes the offline copy, the timestamp and the counted mark, after which your next visit is counted once more. A private window keeps none of them between sessions.

A content blocker may stop the map on the contact page. Everything else will look and work exactly the same.

6. Links that leave this site

The Facebook and Instagram links in the footer are plain links. Nothing from either platform loads on our pages, and neither can see you until you follow one, at which point that company's policy applies and ours stops.

How we handle information you actually give us, in the shop or through the appointment form, is set out in the privacy policy.
