Cookie Policy

This page describes the cookies this website actually uses — not a generic list of cookies a site of this kind might use.

01The short version

This website does not set any cookies, and it does not show a cookie banner.

Those two facts are connected. A consent banner exists to obtain consent for non-essential cookies. This site sets none, so there is nothing to consent to, and a banner would be theatre — an extra click that implies a choice you do not actually need to make.

If that ever changes, consent will be requested properly, before the relevant script loads, and this page will be updated first.

02Strictly necessary cookies

These are cookies a site cannot function without — session identifiers, login state, security tokens.

This site sets none. There is nothing to log into, no shopping basket, and no session to maintain. The contact form is protected by an in-memory rate limit keyed on the connection, which requires no cookie.

Our hosting provider may set a strictly necessary cookie to identify traffic it believes is abusive and to keep the site available. Where it does, that is a security function rather than tracking, and it is not used to profile you.

03Analytics cookies

These count visits and show which pages are read. They are useful, and they are also the category most often used to justify a banner.

This site currently uses no analytics at all. No measurement script is loaded and no analytics cookie is set.

If analytics is introduced, the intention is a privacy-respecting, cookie-free provider that does not follow you across sites. It would be named here and in the Privacy Policy before it went live.

04Advertising cookies

These build a profile of your browsing to target advertising, usually across many sites.

This site sets none, and no advertising is sold or served on this domain. overleveling.com is a corporate site.

Advertising does run on some network properties. Those are separate websites with their own cookie policies, and this page does not describe them — check the policy on the site you are actually visiting.

05Preference cookies

These remember choices such as a theme or a language selection.

This site sets none.There is no theme switcher and no language selector, so there is no preference to store. The site follows a single dark presentation and respects your operating system’s reduced-motion setting, which requires no cookie to read.

06Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings, usually under Privacy. Blocking cookies entirely will not break this site, because it does not rely on any.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, our analytics wrapper honours it and sends no events — including when a provider is configured.

07Changes to this policy

If this site starts setting a cookie, this page will say so before it happens, the “last reviewed” date will change, and consent will be requested where consent is required.
