Cookie Policy
Effective date: 16 October 2026
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store and then send back on later visits, which is how a site recognises a returning browser. Similar technologies do the same job by other means — localStorage and sessionStorage keep values in the browser, tracking pixels report a page view by requesting a tiny image from another server, and fingerprinting infers a semi-unique identifier from the browser's own characteristics.
This site, blankcipher.online, published by GALLARDO TRADE s.r.o., uses none of them. The list below is what we checked, item by item.
What we checked
- Cookies set by this site
- Not used. No first-party cookie of any kind is set, including session identifiers and preference cookies.
- Cookies set by others through this site
- Not used. No third party can set a cookie through these pages, because no third-party content is loaded at all — no analytics, no advertising, no social buttons, no video embeds, no comment system.
- localStorage
- Not used. Nothing is written to it, which is why the printed checkboxes on the checklists page do not remember what you ticked.
- sessionStorage
- Not used. Nothing is stored for the duration of a visit either; closing a tab leaves nothing behind.
- IndexedDB
- Not used. The site keeps no browser-side database.
- Tracking pixels
- Not used. There are no image files on this site at all; the illustrations are inline SVG and CSS, so there is nothing that could call another server.
- Browser fingerprinting
- Not used. No script reads fonts, canvas output, screen characteristics or hardware details, and the only script on the site opens the small-screen menu and calls the browser's print dialog.
- Web fonts and third-party scripts
- Not used. Type is set in fonts already on your device, and the stylesheet and script are served from this domain. Every page makes zero requests to any other server.
- Server access logs
- Used. Our hosting provider records ordinary web server logs — IP address, date and time, URL requested, referring page if your browser sends one, and user-agent string — kept for 30 days and used for security, abuse prevention and fault diagnosis. This is the only entry on this list that describes something that happens.
Why there is no consent banner
A consent banner exists so that you can accept or refuse things a site wants to store on your device. This site wants to store nothing, so a banner would have nothing to ask about. Presenting one anyway would imply that cookies are in play and that your choice matters here, and both of those would be untrue.
After you follow a paid link
The course contains paid affiliate links to the Crossout website. Following one takes you off this domain, and from that point the Crossout website and the affiliate network that operates the link may set cookies or use similar technology on their own domains, typically to record that the referral came from us. GALLARDO TRADE s.r.o. does not control those, cannot read them and does not receive them. Their own cookie and privacy notices are the place to check what they do, and they are worth reading, as Step 3 of the course suggests.
Blocking or clearing cookies in general
Nothing here needs to be blocked, but the controls are worth knowing for the rest of the web. Every current browser has a privacy or content-settings section that lets you block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies only, delete everything a particular site has stored, or clear all browsing data. Most also offer a private or incognito window, which discards what it stored when you close it. The wording differs between browsers and changes with each release, so the browser's own help pages are the accurate guide. Blocking all cookies everywhere will break sites that need them to keep you signed in; this one will behave exactly the same.
Our commitment, and how to ask
If this site ever introduces a cookie or any similar technology, this page will be rewritten with a new effective date to say exactly what it is and why, and a working consent mechanism will be in place before the first one is set. We will not add one quietly.
