Cookies and Device Storage current site operations and boundaries

This page explains the limited storage used by environmentalreport.eu. The site is built to avoid tracking and relies only on browser-side storage that is needed to keep the tool working as you request.

Cookies and Device Storage
What stays in your browser, why it is needed, and how you can control it.

What we use

We do not use advertising cookies, profiling cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. The website uses only limited device-side storage that is necessary for the tool to work as requested by you.

This can include:

  • saved report drafts stored locally in your browser,
  • the currently selected reporting year, and
  • temporary browser-side state needed to generate a local PDF export.

This information stays on your device and is not written to our database.

Why we use it

We use this storage only to provide the functions you explicitly ask for when you use the reporting tool.

  • keeping your report available after a refresh,
  • letting you continue editing after reopening the page, and
  • generating a PDF locally in your browser without uploading report content.

Without this storage, core parts of the tool would not function in the local-only, privacy-first way the website is designed to provide.

What we do not use

  • No advertising cookies
  • No remarketing cookies
  • No social media tracking cookies
  • No session replay tools
  • No third-party analytics cookies
  • No marketing or profiling fingerprinting

Why this page mentions device storage

Some features rely on browser storage technologies such as localStorage. For transparency, this page refers to both traditional cookies and other browser-side storage together as “Cookies and Device Storage.”

The purpose of this storage is functional only. It is not used to identify you across websites or to build a behavioural profile.

How long it stays on your device

Report drafts and related preferences remain in your browser until you delete them, overwrite them, clear your browser storage, or use the reset or delete actions available in the app.

We do not automatically sync this information to our servers.

How to control it

You can control cookies and device storage through:

  • your browser settings,
  • your browser's site-data controls, and
  • the delete or reset actions available inside the app.

Blocking or clearing this storage may stop parts of the tool from working correctly, because the local-only workflow depends on it.
