What touches a browser

What Touches a Browser Here

Four rows, and the fourth is not this site's. There is no consent wall on this domain, because nothing is stored until a reader answers a card that sits in the flow of the page rather than over the reading.

The four

Thing Kind What it is for How long
The word recording that the storage card was answered, stored under the key tl_card_readLocal storage, this domain onlySo a reader who has answered is not asked againUntil site data is cleared
The stylesheet, the faces, the images and the two scriptsOrdinary browser cacheSo a second page loads without fetching them againWhatever the browser decides
The place list the fare lookup offersOrdinary browser cacheSo the field can suggest cities without asking the server each timeWhatever the browser decides
Whatever the booking service sets, once a search is submittedThat service's own storage on its own subdomainIts business, described in its own noticeIts own term

The first row is the only thing this site deliberately writes, and it is written only after a reader presses one of the two buttons on the card.

There is no cookie on this domain

Not as a technicality. This site sets no cookie at all: the one thing it stores is a single word in local storage, on this domain, on the reader's own machine, and it never travels with a request.

That word carries no identifier, no number, no timestamp that would order visits, and nothing that could be joined to anything else. It says either that the card was accepted or that it was refused, and both answers make the card go away.

Why there is no consent wall

Because there is nothing to consent to before a page is read. Nothing is stored on arrival, nothing is measured, and nothing third party runs, so a wall across the reading would be theater.

The card sits above the footer, in the flow of the page, and can be ignored indefinitely without any effect on anything. Refusing it stores the word saying it was refused, which is the smallest honest way to remember an answer. A reader who wants nothing stored at all can simply not press either button, or clear site data afterwards.

How to be rid of all of it

Clearing site data for this domain in the browser removes the word and the cached files together. No account exists here, so there is nothing to close and nobody to notify.

The fourth row is not this site's to clear. Storage set by the booking service on its own subdomain is governed by that service, and clearing it is done the same way in the browser.

Absent by design

No advertising or measurement identifier of any kind. No pixel, no beacon, no fingerprinting. Nothing that recognizes a device across visits and nothing that recognizes it across sites. No script from anybody outside this domain, on any page.
