Cookie Policy

Effective date: 9 October 2026

A cookie is a small piece of text that a website asks your browser to store and send back on later requests, which is how sites recognise a returning visitor or keep you signed in. Several other technologies do similar jobs by other means: storage built into the browser, tiny images loaded to register that a page was opened, and scripts loaded from other companies that can observe your visit.

Blank Index uses none of them. The list below names each one we checked for and says plainly whether it is in use.

What we checked

Cookies set by this site

Not used. No page on blankindex.online sets a cookie of any kind, for any purpose, including preferences and session handling.

Cookies set by others through this site

Not used. No third party is loaded by any page here, so no third party is in a position to set a cookie through it.

localStorage

Not used. Nothing is written to your browser's local storage, which is why the course checklists do not remember which boxes you ticked.

sessionStorage

Not used. Nothing is written for the duration of a tab either.

IndexedDB

Not used. No in-browser database is created or opened.

Tracking pixels

Not used. There are no invisible images, beacons or counters on any page, and no advertising or conversion tag of any kind.

Browser fingerprinting

Not used. Nothing here reads your fonts, screen characteristics, hardware details or canvas output to build an identifier.

Web fonts and third-party scripts

Not used. The pages are set in fonts already on your computer, and the only script is a short first-party file that operates the mobile menu and the print button on the checklists page. No content delivery network, no embedded video, no social buttons, no chat widget, no map.

Server access logs

Used. This is the single entry in this list that is in use, and it is a record kept on the server rather than anything stored in your browser.

What the access logs contain

Our hosting provider records the ordinary technical details of each request: the IP address, the date and time, the URL requested, the referring page if your browser sends one, and the user-agent string. They exist so the site can be kept running and secure, they are kept for 30 days, and then they are deleted. This is the same statement made in the Privacy Policy, where the purposes and recipients are set out in full.

Why there is no cookie banner

Consent banners exist so that a site can ask permission before storing or reading something on your device. This site does not store or read anything on your device, so there is nothing to ask about. Showing a banner anyway would be asking you to consent to something that is not happening, which would be untrue as well as irritating.

The checklists do not remember your ticks

This is worth saying directly because people reasonably assume otherwise. The boxes beside the checklist items are drawn with a style rule; they are printed marks, not controls. Nothing records them, here or in your browser, because doing so would require storage this site does not use. If you want to keep a record, print the checklists page and use a pen.

After you follow an affiliate link

The course contains paid affiliate links to Crossout. Once you follow one you have left blankindex.online, and what happens next is governed by the sites you arrive at. The affiliate network that operates the link, and the advertiser's own site, may set cookies or use similar technology on their own domains in order to record that the referral came from here and to attribute any sign-up. I&M ALEX s.r.o. does not control those cookies, cannot read them, and is not able to switch them off on your behalf. Their own cookie and privacy notices are the place to see what they set; the arrangement itself is explained on the Affiliate Disclosure page.

Blocking or clearing cookies in general

Nothing here needs blocking, but the controls are worth knowing. Every current browser has a privacy or content-settings section that lets you see stored cookies and site data, delete them for one site or all sites, block third-party cookies, and clear everything when the browser closes. Private or incognito windows discard such data when the window is closed. Blocking all cookies everywhere will break sites that rely on them for signing in, which is why the usual compromise is to block third-party cookies and clear the rest periodically. Your browser's own help pages describe where these controls sit in the current version.

If this ever changes

If a cookie or any browser storage is introduced on this site in future, this page will be rewritten to describe it before the first one is set, the effective date above will change, and a working consent mechanism will be in place at the same moment. We will not add a tracker first and document it afterwards.
