Cookie Policy
Which cookies and similar technologies this website and our apps use. The list is short on purpose.
Why there is no bannerThere is nothing to consent to. This website sets no cookies, so there is no banner asking you to accept them. If you ever see one here, something has changed and this page will have changed with it.
Section 1This website sets no cookies
Not analytics cookies, not advertising cookies, not third party cookies, and not "strictly necessary" cookies either. nativecodeapps.com is a set of static pages, and static pages do not need to remember anything about you between visits.
The one exception is the moment you submit a form. Your browser sends the form to our endpoint, we process it and redirect you. Nothing is stored on your device as part of that, and nothing persists after the page changes.
Section 2How we count visitors instead
Right now, we do not. There is no analytics on this website at all: nothing counts your visit, and the only record it leaves anywhere is the ordinary server log described in the Privacy Policy.
We do want to know which pages are useful, so we expect to add analytics eventually. When we do it will set no cookies and build no identifier for you, and this page will be updated before it goes live. What such a service would show us is aggregate:
- how many times a page was viewed;
- which site or search engine sent people to it;
- country level location, derived and then discarded;
- whether the visit came from a phone or a computer.
What it would never show is who you are, what you did on any other website, or whether the person reading this page is the same person who read another one.
Section 3Nothing is loaded from anybody else
The typefaces on this site are served from our own domain rather than from a font service. Loading a font from a third party would hand that company a record of your IP address and the page you were reading, which is a privacy cost for a small convenience.
There are no third party scripts, no social media widgets, no chat widgets and no tracking pixels anywhere on this site. Every request your browser makes while reading this page goes to nativecodeapps.com.
The About page has one piece of nonsense on it that loads photographs and short video clips. They are served from this domain like everything else, they are not loaded until you deliberately set the thing off, and no embedded player from another company is involved. Nobody else learns that you looked at it.
Section 4Inside our applications
An application you have signed into does have to remember something, otherwise it would ask you to sign in on every screen. What it stores is strictly necessary and stays on your device:
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Session token | Keeps you signed in so the app does not ask for your password on every screen | Until you sign out or it expires |
| Preferences | Remembers your settings, such as a theme or a default view | Until you clear them or remove the app |
| Offline cache | Lets the app show your data when the connection drops | Until you remove the app |
None of these are used for advertising or for tracking you across other apps. Our applications do not ask for the advertising identifier your phone provides, because we have nothing to do with it. Removing the app removes all of it.
Section 5How to check, and how to block
Do not take our word for it. Open your browser’s developer tools, look at the Application or Storage tab while you read this page, and you will find it empty. Look at the Network tab and every request goes to one domain.
You can block cookies entirely in your browser settings, and this site will work exactly as it does now. On a phone, clearing an app’s data or deleting the app removes everything it stored.
Section 6Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. Since we do not sell or share personal information and we set no tracking cookies, the signal changes nothing in practice, but it is respected rather than ignored.
The older Do Not Track header is not consistently defined and most sites ignore it. We do not do the things it asks sites to stop doing, so there is nothing for us to change when we see it.
