TL;DR
This website sets no tracking, advertising or analytics cookies, and nothing that follows you around the web. It only remembers two small settings you choose (your light/dark theme and that you've seen our cookie notice), and our hosting provider may use a security cookie to keep out bots.
Our cookie promise
We keep things simple: we only store things in your browser to make this website work, and for nothing else. No advertising networks, no analytics or profiling, no data sharing, and no third-party tracking, ever.
What this website stores
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
guardid-theme | Local storage | guardID | Remembers light or dark mode, only if you use the theme switch. | Until you clear it |
guardid-cookie-notice | Local storage | guardID | Remembers that you've dismissed the cookie notice, so it doesn't reappear. | Until you clear it |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cookie | Cloudflare (our host) | Security only: set if Cloudflare needs to check you're not a bot. Not used for tracking. | Up to 30 minutes / up to 1 year |
All of these are strictly necessary for the site to work or to provide something you've asked for, so they don't need your consent. None of them are linked to you across other sites, and none are used to build a profile of you.
Fonts
Our typeface is loaded from Google Fonts. This sets no cookies, but your browser does send Google your IP address and browser details when it fetches the font files. See our Privacy Policy for more on the suppliers we use.
The member area
When you sign up or log in at my.guardid.app, essential cookies are used to keep you securely signed in and remember your settings. They're first-party, never linked to any third party, and never used for advertising or tracking.
Referrals
This website doesn't currently set any referral cookies. If we introduce referral links for our partners and content creators, we'll use a single first-party cookie, only to record who referred you so they get credit if you join, and we'll update this policy before we do.
Managing cookies and storage
You can view, block or delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the site or member area may not work as intended, but that's your choice, and we respect it.
In summary
What we store exists to help the site run and to remember choices you've made. Nothing more. Nothing less. Your data stays private and under your control.
