# Privacy > What this site collects, which is nothing. No cookies, no analytics, no third-party requests, no forms and no accounts. Your age answer stays on your device. - Canonical URL: https://consensualspanking.co.uk/privacy/ - Section: About - Updated: November 2026 (2026-11-01) - Audience: consenting adults over 18 only. Everything on this site concerns consenting adults over 18. Most privacy pages are written to cover somebody legally. This one is written because the answer is unusually short and unusually good, and because a reader of this site has more reason than most to want it spelled out. --- ## In short - No cookies, no analytics, no tracking. Your over-18 answer stays in your browser for 24 hours and is never sent. - Your browser makes no requests to any third party. Fonts, styles and search all come from this domain. - There are no forms and no accounts. Nothing you type on this site is sent anywhere. - Search runs in your browser. What you type is never transmitted. I am the sole operator of this site. It is not a business, nothing is sold, and there is no advertising, no affiliate arrangement and no sponsor. That removes most of the reasons a website would want data about you. ## What the site collects when you read it Nothing. There are no cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels and no advertising scripts. Because nothing is measured, there is no cookie banner, and no consent to give. One thing is kept on your device. When you confirm that you are 18 or over, your browser stores that answer, with the time you gave it, in its own local storage, so the question is not asked again on every page. It is never sent to this site or to anyone else, it expires after 24 hours, and clearing your browsing data removes it straight away. It is not a cookie, and it says nothing about who you are. Your browser also makes no requests to anyone but this site. The fonts are served from this domain rather than from Google Fonts. The stylesheet and the search index are ours. There is no content delivery network in front of the pages beyond the host itself. In practice that means reading this site tells no third party anything about you, which is unusual and is the main reason this page is worth reading. Outbound links to organisations such as Samaritans or the National Domestic Abuse Helpline are ordinary links, and nothing is loaded from them unless you click. The site sends a `no-referrer` policy, so when you do click through, the destination is not told which page you came from. That matters here more than it would elsewhere. ## Server logs The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes connection data in order to serve pages at all, and it keeps its own operational logs for a short period. I do not have access to a log of who visited, and I have not enabled anything that would give me one. If I later add visitor statistics, it will be a cookieless, privacy-preserving kind that counts pages rather than people, and this page will say so before it goes live. ## Search The search runs entirely inside your browser. When you open it, your browser downloads one index file, and everything after that happens on your own machine. What you type is never transmitted, never logged and never seen by anyone, including me. That is why the search box says so. ## Your rights Under UK data protection law you can ask what I hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and complain to the Information Commissioner. In practice the answer is nothing, because this site holds no record that you were ever here. The ICO can be reached at [ico.org.uk](https://ico.org.uk). ## Your own privacy, which is the part that actually matters Most people worried about privacy on a site like this are not worried about me. They are worried about somebody who shares their laptop. - Most browsers let you delete a single site from your history rather than clearing everything, which is less conspicuous than a suddenly empty history. - A private or incognito window leaves no history entry at all. The organisations listed on the [get help](https://consensualspanking.co.uk/support/) page deal with covering your tracks every day and will talk you through it properly if your situation calls for that. ## Changes If any of this changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. I have no plans to add tracking, and if I ever did, it would be written here before it was switched on rather than after. ## Read next - [About this site and who writes it](https://consensualspanking.co.uk/about/) - [Getting help and support](https://consensualspanking.co.uk/support/) - [Can I do this without anyone knowing?](https://consensualspanking.co.uk/questions/can-i-do-this-without-anyone-knowing/) ## Common questions ### Does this site use cookies? No. The site sets no cookies of any kind, which is why there is no cookie banner. The only thing it keeps on your device is your answer to the over-18 question, held in your own browser for 24 hours so it does not ask on every page. It is never sent to this site or anyone else. ### Does the search on this site send my queries anywhere? No. Search runs entirely in your browser against a file downloaded when you open it. What you type never leaves your device and is never sent to me or to anyone else.
