Cookie policy

This website stores nothing on your device. No cookies, no local storage, no session storage, no IndexedDB, no cache-based identifiers. That is why you were not shown a consent banner, and this page tells you how to check it for yourself.

The whole policy, in four lines

  • We set no cookies at all — not essential ones, not preference ones, not analytics.
  • We write nothing to localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB.
  • We load nothing from a third-party server, so no other company can store anything through us.
  • Therefore there is nothing to consent to, and no banner to click away.

Why there is no consent banner

Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended, and as implemented in Czech law by § 89 of Act No. 127/2005 Coll. on electronic communications) requires informed consent before storing information on, or gaining access to information already stored on, a user’s device. Consent is required for the act of storage and access — not merely for “tracking”.

We resolved that requirement by removing the cause rather than by asking you to dismiss a dialogue. Since nothing is stored and nothing is read from your device, Article 5(3) is not engaged and there is no lawful basis to obtain. A banner would be theatre.

This also means there is no “reject all” button to hunt for, no legitimate-interest tab, and no preference to re-confirm every six months. There is no preference, because there is nothing to prefer.

What the site actually loads

Every network request a page on this site makes. All of them are to radovian.online itself.

There is no Google Analytics, no Google Fonts, no Facebook pixel, no Microsoft UET tag, no consent management platform, no chat widget, no embedded video, no CDN and no remote image. The one script on the site is 45 lines long, is served from this domain, and you can read it at /js/cta.js.

How to verify this yourself

Do not take our word for it. It takes about a minute.

Check for cookies and storage

  1. Open the developer tools: F12, or Ctrl + Shift + I (Cmd + Option + I on a Mac).
  2. In Chrome or Edge, open the Application tab. In Firefox, the Storage tab. In Safari, enable the Develop menu and use the Storage tab.
  3. Look under Cookies, Local storage, Session storage and IndexedDB for https://radovian.online. Every one of them should be empty. Reload the page and look again.
  4. You can also type document.cookie into the Console and press Enter. It will return an empty string.

Check that nothing is loaded from elsewhere

  1. Open the Network tab in the developer tools.
  2. Reload the page with the tab open.
  3. Look at the Domain column. Every row should read radovian.online. If you ever see a third-party domain there, we have broken this promise and we would like to hear about it at info@radovian.online.
  4. Check the Response headers of the first request for a Set-Cookie header. There is none.

A tracker-blocking extension is another way to check: on this site it will report nothing to block.

What happens when you follow a partner link

This is the one place where your device may end up storing something, so we want to be exact about it.

A link marked partner link passes through a short page on this domain (/c/1/) and then sends you to the vendor or to an affiliate network. That page sets no cookie either — it forwards you and nothing more. But once you arrive at the vendor’s site, you are on their property: they will very probably set cookies, and their policy, not ours, governs what happens next. Attribution of a sale is handled between the vendor and the network, not by us.

If you would rather not be counted at all, do not follow the link: read the article, then open the vendor’s site yourself from a search engine or by typing the address. You lose nothing by doing so, and we lose a commission. We would rather tell you that than not.

If this ever changes

If the site ever needed to store something on your device, this page would be rewritten first, the change would be described here in plain language, and consent would be requested properly — before the storage happened, with refusal as easy as acceptance. We have no plan to do so.
