Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser to remember something between one request and the next. CookieGrove stores none, and no third party does either — measured in a browser on a live page. Nothing reaches local storage, and there is no banner, because there is nothing to accept or decline.
What we use
No analytics, no advertising, no embedded video or social widgets. The host keeps server logs (IP, time, page, browser), which are not cookies; the privacy policy covers those and the country lookup that the contact form and search rely on. Some pages show an author avatar from Gravatar — an image, not a cookie.
Opting out
Nothing to opt out of, though your browser lets you block or clear cookies from any site at any time. This page will change before CookieGrove ever sets a cookie, and the date at the top will say when.
