1. Short version
This site sets no advertising cookies. The only things stored on your device by default are strictly necessary. The optional items are YouTube video embeds on project pages and Microsoft Clarity usage analytics, and both stay blocked until you allow them.
Because there is something optional, you are asked once. Rejecting is one click and costs you nothing except that embedded videos will not play. You can change your mind at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
2. What is stored on your device
Strictly necessary — no consent required
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
localStorage | uxbanos.com | Remembers the choice you made here, with the date and the policy version, so you are not asked again and so the choice can be evidenced. | Until you clear it or the policy version changes |
cmp_sesion, cmp_ref |
sessionStorage | uxbanos.com | First-party audience measurement: a random session identifier (and, if you arrive from a tracked link, its reference) used to count visits and reading milestones on this site's own server. No cookies, no third parties, no IP address stored. Exempt from consent as audience measurement under Article 22.2 LSSI-CE. | Until the browser tab is closed |
__cf_bm and similar |
Cookie | Cloudflare | Bot detection and security for the CDN that serves this site. Set at network level, not by the site's code. |
Short-lived (minutes to hours) |
Optional — blocked until you consent
| Category | Set by | Purpose | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| External media | YouTube / Google | Video playback on project pages. Once loaded, YouTube sets its own cookies and local storage on your device and receives your IP address and the page you are viewing. The exact identifiers are controlled by Google, not by this site — see Google's cookie information. |
Portfolio project pages with video |
| Usage analytics | Microsoft Clarity | Anonymised heatmaps and session replays that show how the site is used, to improve it. Once allowed, Clarity stores identifiers on your device and sends usage data (interactions, pages viewed, device information) to Microsoft — see Microsoft's privacy statement. | All pages |
Until you accept, the embed is replaced by a notice with a “Load video” button. Nothing is requested from YouTube before you press it. Clarity's script is likewise never loaded before you allow it.
3. What this site does not do
- No advertising cookies, no retargeting pixels, no social network trackers. The social links in the footer are plain links; nothing is embedded.
- No analytics cookies without consent. Default traffic measurement uses Cloudflare Web Analytics (a beacon that stores nothing on your device) and this site's own milestone counter (sessionStorage only, no third parties, no IP stored) — neither builds a profile of you nor requires consent under Article 22.2 LSSI-CE. Microsoft Clarity, which does store identifiers on your device, only runs if you opt in.
- No consent by scrolling or by continuing to browse. Only an explicit click counts.
- No pre-ticked optional boxes.
4. Typefaces
Typefaces are served from this website's own domain. Nothing is requested from Google's servers, so no data about you reaches Google when a page loads, and nothing is stored on your device. This was previously not the case: until August 2026 the fonts came from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, which exposed your IP address to Google on every page load.
5. Changing or withdrawing your choice
Use the Cookie settings link, available in the footer of every page. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent, and takes effect immediately: embeds go back to being blocked on the next page load.
You can also clear site data from your browser at any time (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all expose this under privacy settings). Clearing it removes the record of your choice, so you will be asked again on your next visit.
