Cookies

The short version

This website sets no cookies of its own, runs no analytics and carries no advertising or third-party trackers. Nothing here asks for your consent because nothing here needs it. What the site does keep on your device is one preference, described below.

What is stored on your device

One entry, kept in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie. Local storage is read by the page itself and never travels to our server with a request, which is one of the reasons the preference lives there.

• geowl.site.theme — whether you chose Light, Dark or System. It is written when you use the appearance switch, stays until you change it or clear the site’s data, and is read on the next visit so the page does not flash the wrong colours. System follows your device’s own setting.

Cookies our hosting may set

The site is served by Cloudflare, which may set a strictly necessary security cookie — typically __cf_bm, valid for about 30 minutes — to tell a browser from an automated client and filter attacks. It contains no profile, is not used for advertising or analytics, and we do not read it. Under Article 173 of the Polish Telecommunications Law and the ePrivacy Directive, storage strictly necessary to deliver a service the user requested does not require consent.

The quiz and the contact form

The sample quiz on the site keeps your answers in page memory: reload the page and it starts again, and nothing about it is stored or sent. What you type into the contact form stays in the page until you press send; from that point the privacy policy describes what happens to it.

The app’s own storage

The Geowl app and its browser version at play.geowl.app do not use cookies either. They keep your settings, progress, answer history and the queue of data waiting to be sent in the device’s own storage, where they stay until you clear the app’s data or uninstall it. Clearing that storage removes your local history. What of it is sent to our server, and how to stop it, is in the privacy policy.

How to clear it

In your browser’s settings for this site, clearing site data removes the appearance preference; the site then follows your device’s setting again. On a phone, clearing the app’s data or uninstalling it removes what the app kept locally.

If this changes

If we ever add something that needs consent — an analytics tool, an advertising technology, an embedded third-party player — we will ask before it loads, offer a refusal that is as easy as agreement, let you change your mind later, and update this page first.
