Cookies Policy
Last updated: 6 May 2026 · Version 1.0
This site is cookieless by design. We do not set any cookies, and we do not use localStorage or sessionStorage to track you. This page explains what that means in practice and which third-party services your browser contacts when loading the site.
Cookies set by hjaltland.co.uk
None. The site sets zero cookies — neither technical, nor analytics, nor profiling.
The language preference (EN / IT) is computed in memory only, for the duration of the page view. If you reload, the page restarts in English. We chose this trade-off to remain entirely cookie-free.
Third-party services your browser contacts
When you load this site, your browser also issues HTTP requests to the following providers. They may set their own technical cookies on their own domains, log your IP address as part of standard server operation, and apply their own privacy policies. We do not receive any of this data.
| Service | Purpose | Data shared | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netlify, Inc. | Hosting and CDN. Serves the HTML, CSS and JavaScript of the site. | IP, user-agent, request URL, timestamp (server logs). | netlify.com/privacy |
| Fontshare (Indian Type Foundry) | Web fonts (Zodiak and Satoshi). | IP and request URL when fonts are loaded. | fontshare.com/privacy |
| unpkg (Cloudflare CDN) | Delivers the Leaflet JavaScript library and stylesheet for the archaeological map. | IP and request URL. | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
| CartoDB (DarkMatter basemap) | Map tiles for the dark archaeological basemap. | IP, requested tile coordinates, timestamp. | carto.com/privacy |
| OpenStreetMap Foundation | Underlying map data referenced by the basemap tiles. | No direct request from your browser; attribution credit only. | osmfoundation.org/Privacy_Policy |
Why no cookie banner?
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, the Italian Garante guidelines (10 June 2021) and the UK PECR, a consent banner is required only when a site sets cookies or similar tracking technologies that go beyond what is strictly necessary. This site sets none. Showing a banner that says “we set no cookies — accept?” would be theatrical, not legal compliance.
If we ever introduce a cookie or a tracker, we will add a proper consent layer beforehand and update this page.
How to block third-party requests anyway
If you prefer not to share even your IP with the third parties listed above, you can:
- Use a content blocker (uBlock Origin, NoScript) configured to block external requests on this domain.
- Use a privacy-focused browser (Brave, LibreWolf, Mullvad Browser).
- Route your traffic through a VPN or Tor.
The site will still render correctly without external fonts (a system serif/sans-serif fallback is in place); the map requires Leaflet and CartoDB tiles to function and will appear empty if those are blocked.
