The Ancient Codex does not use cookies to track you. It sets no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no cross-site identifiers. There is nothing here to consent to, because there is nothing following you around.
Strictly-necessary cookies
Our hosting and security provider may set a small number of strictly-necessary cookies: for example, to keep the site available and to protect it from automated abuse. These do not identify you as an individual and are not used for marketing or profiling.
Third parties your browser contacts
No cookies does not mean no requests. Loading a page asks a handful of servers for files, and any server can see your IP address and browser details when it answers. Here is the whole list:
| Service | When | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Our image storage (Cloudflare R2) | Any page with a photograph | Serving the photographs. Our own storage, not a third-party gallery. |
| OpenFreeMap | Any page with a map | Map tiles, built from OpenStreetMap data. It receives the map area you are viewing. |
| Our hosting provider | Every page | Delivering the site and protecting it from automated abuse. |
Typefaces are served from this site itself. They used to be requested from Google Fonts on every page view; we moved them so that loading a page does not tell Google you were here.
What we do not do
No third-party analytics. No advertising networks. No social-media tracking pixels. No tag managers. No selling of behavioural data: there is no behavioural data to sell.
