One small cookie
Cookies
The site sets no tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. One cookie is set, on the contact page only, to protect the form from misuse. It is deleted when you close your browser.

The one cookie
| Cookie | Set on | Why it exists | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| cvx_desk | Contact page only | Links your form to a one-time security code so the form cannot be sent from another site, and lets the page show you whether your message was sent | Until you close your browser; the server forgets it after two hours |
Inside it is a random string, never your name or email address. It is marked so that it is only sent over HTTPS, only to the contact page, and cannot be read by scripts on the page.
If the contact form is switched off for maintenance, the contact page shows the email address instead and sets no cookie at all.
What the site does not use
- visitor statistics and tracking: none
- advertising or retargeting cookies: none
- social media buttons or embedded videos with cookies of their own: none
- nothing loaded from third-party servers, fonts and scripts included
The tools
The four planning tools run in your browser without cookies or local storage. Nothing you type is remembered after you close the page.
Turning cookies off
Browsers let you refuse cookies in their settings. The guides and tools work normally without them. The contact form needs its cookie; if your browser blocks it, the form will ask you to try again or email hello@contractovix.site instead.
Changes
Should a second cookie ever be needed, it will be described here before it is set.
