Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
What This Site Uses
Aethelia (aethelia.info) does not use cookies in the traditional sense. The site does not set any HTTP cookies on your browser. The only browser storage this site uses is the Web Storage API (localStorage), and it is used solely for one purpose: to remember whether you have acknowledged the cookie preference banner displayed at the bottom of the page.
What Is Stored
A single entry is written to localStorage under the key aethelia_cookie_consent. Its value is either "accepted" or "declined" depending on which button you press on the banner. This value is stored locally in your browser only. It is never transmitted to any server, never shared with any third party, and never used to identify you.
What Is Not Used
This site does not use any of the following:
- Analytics cookies or scripts (no Google Analytics, no similar services)
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party cookies of any kind
- Session recording or heatmap tools
- Tracking pixels or behavioural profiling
- Retargeting or remarketing scripts
Disabling Storage
If you disable localStorage in your browser settings, or clear your browser data, the banner will reappear on your next visit. This is the only functional impact of disabling local storage on this site. No other features of the site depend on browser storage.
Third-Party Fonts
This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. This request is made directly to Google's servers. Google may log the request as part of their standard server operations. This is outside the control of Aethelia. Please refer to Google's privacy documentation if you wish to understand how such requests are handled.
