Most cookie policies are long because the site in question does a great deal of tracking. This one is short because ours does almost nothing. The whole of it is described below, and you can read it in a couple of minutes.

What a cookie is
A cookie is a small piece of text that a site asks your browser to keep and to send back on a later visit. A related feature, called local storage, lets a site keep a small value in your browser without sending it anywhere. Both are ordinary tools, and both can be used to track people across sites. This site uses neither for tracking.
What this site keeps
Exactly one small flag. When you dismiss the notice about cookies, the site records a value in your browser's local storage so that the notice does not appear again. That flag holds a single word — a note that you have dismissed the notice — and it contains no personal information. It stays in your browser, and it is never sent anywhere.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| macalix_consent_flag | Local storage | Remembers that you dismissed the notice | Until you clear it |
What this site does not do
- No advertising cookies, and no advertising identifiers of any kind.
- No analytics cookies, and no counting of visitors through a third party.
- No cross-site tracking, and no building of a profile about you.
- No external requests: the pages, styles and images come from this site alone.
- No fonts, scripts or images loaded from anyone else's server.
Why there is nothing to consent to
Because nothing here tracks you, there is nothing for a consent banner to switch on or off. The notice you see is simply a courtesy: it explains what the single flag is for and gives you a way to dismiss it. Dismissing it changes nothing about how the site behaves, other than to stop the notice appearing.
How to remove the flag
You can clear the flag at any time by clearing website data in your browser's settings. In most browsers this is found under a privacy or storage section, where you can remove data for this site, or for all sites. Clearing it will bring the notice back on your next visit, and nothing else will change.
Your choices
Your browser may also let you block local storage or cookies altogether. If you do, the notice will keep appearing, because the site cannot remember that you dismissed it. That is the only consequence. Every guide on this site remains readable, because none of them depends on the flag.
Changes
If we ever change what the site stores, we will update this page and the date at the top, and we will describe the change plainly. We would rather keep this policy short than let it drift out of step with what the site actually does.
