Cookie policy
This site does not use cookies. Not “only essential ones” — none at all. That is why you were never shown a banner.
squashscore.app sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts. The only thing it ever stores is your choice of light or dark theme, and only if you press the toggle. Nothing about your visit is sent to anyone else.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep and hand back on your next visit. Some are genuinely necessary — remembering that you are signed in, or what is in a basket. Most, in practice, are there to recognise you across sites and build a profile for advertising.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, a site has to ask for your consent before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary for a service you asked for. That is where consent banners come from.
Why there is no banner here
There is nothing to ask about. This site is a small set of static pages — no accounts, no sessions, no basket, no advertising. Specifically, it uses:
- No cookies of any kind, first-party or third-party
- No analytics — no Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom or anything else
- No tracking pixels, beacons or social-media embeds
- No external fonts, scripts or stylesheets. Everything the page loads comes from squashscore.app itself, so no third party ever sees that you visited
- No advertising and no ad network
- Nothing that identifies you, follows you between visits, or leaves your browser
Asking for consent to track you would be theatre when nothing here tracks you. A banner is not a badge of compliance; not needing one is better.
The one thing this site stores
If you press the light/dark toggle in the top bar, your choice is saved in
your browser's localStorage under the name
squashscore-theme. Its value is the word light or
the word dark. That is the entire contents.
It is written only when you press the toggle. Leave the toggle alone and nothing is stored at all — the site simply follows whether your device is set to light or dark mode.
This does not require consent, and not because of a loophole: storage is exempt when it is strictly necessary to provide something the visitor explicitly asked for, and remembering a preference you just set by pressing a button is the textbook example. It contains no identifier, is never sent anywhere, and cannot be used to recognise you on any other site. To remove it, clear site data for squashscore.app in your browser, or press the toggle in a private window and close it.
The price in your currency
The homepage shows the app's price in your local currency. It works this out entirely inside your browser, from the time zone and language your device already reports to every website, matched against a table of prices built into the page.
No request is made to any service, nothing about you is sent anywhere, and the result is not saved — it is worked out again from scratch on every page load. Turn JavaScript off and the price simply shows in euros.
Check it yourself
You do not have to take my word for it. In any desktop browser, open the
developer tools (⌥⌘I on a Mac, F12 on Windows)
and look under Application → Storage in Chrome or Edge, or
Storage in Firefox and Safari. The cookie list for this site is
empty. Local storage is empty too, unless you have pressed the theme
toggle, in which case it holds the single entry described above. The
Network tab will show every request going to squashscore.app and
nowhere else.
Server logs
Serving a page requires receiving a request, and the web server keeps a standard log of those: the address requested, a timestamp, your IP address and your browser's user-agent string. This is ordinary infrastructure logging, kept briefly for security and reliability. It is not a cookie, it is not linked to you across visits, and it is not used for analytics or shared with anyone.
Links that leave this site
The buttons on this site link to the App Store, and a few pages link to Apple's own support pages. Once you follow one you are on Apple's site, under Apple's privacy policy, and Apple will set its own cookies there. Nothing about that is under my control, and no information about you is passed along with the link.
The app
Cookies are a web technology, and the Squash Score app is not a web app — it has no web views and no browser inside it, so it cannot use cookies even in principle. It also makes no network requests at all. See the privacy policy for what the app does store on your watch.
Changes
If this site ever starts using a cookie or any form of analytics, this page will be updated first, the date at the top will change, and — if consent is required — you will be asked properly rather than nudged. There is no plan to do any of that.
