ShineCrewCookie Policy
Last updated 15 July 2026
Why there's no banner
Consent banners exist because most sites store identifiers on your device — usually to track you across other websites and sell advertising. We don't do that, so the banner would be theatre. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, look under Application → Storage, and you'll find nothing set by this domain.
What about analytics?
We do measure traffic, using Umami hosted on our own server. Umami is cookieless by design. Instead of parking an identifier on your device and following it around, it counts a visit using a salted identifier derived on the server and rotated regularly. Nothing is written to your browser, and nothing can follow you to another site.
The full detail of what that records is in the Privacy Policy.
Is anything stored on my device?
Effectively, no. For completeness, here is everything this site touches:
| What | Where | Why | Survives the visit? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookies | — | None set, first or third party | N/A |
| Light/dark choice | Page memory only | Applies the theme you picked | No — forgotten on reload |
| Standard browser cache | Your browser | Caching images, fonts and code so pages load quickly | Yes, until you clear it |
The theme toggle is worth a note: because we don't store your choice, it resets each time you load the page and follows your operating system's setting by default. That's a deliberate trade — remembering it would mean storing something on your device.
Third-party embeds
There are none. No YouTube players, no social widgets, no font CDNs, no chat bubbles — the usual sources of third-party cookies. Fonts and images are served from this domain.
If this changes
If we ever add something that needs cookies, we'll ask for your consent before setting them and update this page.
