Cookie
Policy
A plain-language explanation of the cookies and local storage this website uses — and how to control them.
Short version: This website uses no advertising or tracking cookies. We only store accessibility preferences in your browser's local storage. No data leaves your device without your explicit action.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve the user experience, or provide information to site owners. localStorage is a related web technology that stores data locally in your browser — unlike cookies, it is never automatically transmitted to servers.
2. What We Use
The DIGI-METER website does not set any HTTP cookies. We use browser localStorage exclusively for the following purposes:
| Key Name | Type | Purpose | Retained Until |
|---|---|---|---|
| high-contrast | Stores your high-contrast accessibility mode preference | Cleared when you toggle the setting off, or when you clear browser data | |
| font-scale | Stores your selected text size preference (normal / large / extra-large) | Cleared when you reset via the A− button, or when you clear browser data |
3. What We Do Not Use
This website contains no cookies or tracking mechanisms of the following types:
- Advertising or marketing cookies (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, etc.)
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Hotjar, etc.)
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party session cookies
- Cross-site tracking identifiers
External links on this site (such as to partner organisation websites) may use their own cookies. We have no control over those, and they are governed by the respective sites' cookie policies.
4. Fonts
The Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces used on this website are self-hosted on our own server. No font files are loaded from Google or any other third party, and no technical data is shared with external font providers when you visit this site.
5. Managing Your Preferences
5.1 Accessibility Preferences
Your high-contrast and font-size settings are stored locally. You can reset them at any time by clicking the High Contrast, A−, and A+ buttons in the top bar of any page.
5.2 Clearing All Local Storage
To clear all locally stored data from this site:
- Chrome / Edge: Open Developer Tools (F12) → Application → Local Storage → right-click the site and select "Clear"
- Firefox: Open Developer Tools (F12) → Storage → Local Storage → delete entries
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for this domain → remove
Alternatively, clearing your browser's browsing data will remove all local storage for all sites.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce analytics or other cookies in the future (for example, to understand how learners use the assessment platform), we will update this policy and add a consent banner before any such cookies are set. The version number and date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
