Cookie Notice

This page explains, in plain language, how Defaults Exposed uses cookies. The short version: we keep it to an absolute minimum. We don’t track you, and we don’t sell anything about you.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a tiny file a website can store in your browser. Some cookies are needed for a site to work; others are used by some companies to follow people around the web and show them ads. We use the first kind sparingly, and we don’t use the second kind at all.

Our approach: privacy-first and cookieless

To understand how many people visit and which pages are useful, we use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics. That means:

• we set few or no tracking cookies,
• we use no advertising trackers,
• we use no cookies that follow you around the web, and
• we don’t build a personal profile about you.

We see aggregate patterns — for example, “this page was viewed many times” — not individuals.

Cookies we may set

If we set any cookies at all, they are strictly necessary ones — the kind a site needs to function properly. For example:

• Security and basic operation — a cookie may be needed to keep the site working correctly and securely while you use it, such as during the one-time check that confirms you own a domain.
• Your preferences — a small cookie may remember a simple choice you’ve made, such as your language.

These are used only to make the service work for you. They are not used to advertise to you or to track you elsewhere.

What we never do

• No advertising cookies.
• No third-party tracking cookies.
• No selling or sharing of your browsing for marketing.

How to control cookies in your browser

You’re always in control. Every major browser lets you see the cookies a site has stored, delete them, and block or limit them. Look in your browser’s Settings, under a section usually called Privacy or Cookies and site data. From there you can:

• view and delete existing cookies,
• block cookies from specific sites, and
• choose to be warned before any cookie is set.

Because we rely on cookieless analytics, blocking cookies won’t break the main parts of the site. If you block strictly-necessary cookies, some functions — such as confirming you own a domain — may not work as expected.

Where your data is processed

Any data involved is processed in the European Union.

Changes to this notice

If we change how we use cookies, we’ll update this page. Significant changes will be made clear.
