1. Overview
CyprusAligned takes a simple approach to website privacy: we do not use cookies. cyprusaligned.com does not place session cookies, analytics cookies, marketing cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies on your device. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, heatmaps, chat widgets, session recording tools, or similar tracking technologies.
2. Why You Are Not Asked to Accept Cookies
Because the site does not use cookies, CyprusAligned does not display a cookie consent banner. Under the EU ePrivacy rules, consent is generally required to store information on, or access information from, a user's device unless that storage or access is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. The website uses only a minimal local setting for display preference, described below, and does not use tracking technology for analytics or advertising.
3. localStorage Instead of Cookies
The site uses browser localStorage, not cookies, to remember one preference: your chosen display theme. The local key is ca-theme and it stores only one of two values: dark or light. Unlike cookies, which are typically sent back to a server with later HTTP requests, localStorage is browser-side storage scoped to the site's origin.
On CyprusAligned, this value is used only to preserve your visual preference on your device. It does not identify you, does not track you across websites, and is not transmitted by the site to any server.
4. Google Fonts
The website loads fonts from Google Fonts through Google's CDN, including requests to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. When your browser requests those font files, Google receives technical request data such as your IP address in order to respond to that request and for security purposes. Further information is available in Google's Fonts privacy information and Google's Privacy Policy.
