What we use
We do not use advertising cookies or profiling cookies. The website uses limited device-side storage that is necessary for the tool to work, and privacy-friendly Plausible analytics for aggregate traffic measurement.
Plausible analytics is not used for ad personalization or cross-site behavioural profiling in our current setup.
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, and
- aggregate analytics events sent to Plausible (for example page views and referrer metadata).
Report drafts and report inputs stay on your device and are 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 advertising or profiling 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. Plausible analytics is used separately for aggregate website measurement and is not used to identify you across websites or build an advertising profile.
Cookie consent popup
Based on the current setup, we do not run advertising or profiling cookies and we do not request cookie consent through a popup banner.
If this setup changes in the future, we will update this page and implement additional consent controls where legally required.
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.
