What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store. They're often used to remember logins, save preferences, measure visits or show targeted advertising. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and tracking pixels.
What we use
| Technology | Used? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | No | There are no accounts or logins, so nothing needs to be remembered between visits. |
| Analytics cookies | No | We don't run Google Analytics or any other visitor tracking. |
| Advertising cookies | No | We don't show ads or work with ad networks. |
| Third-party cookies | No | We don't load any external scripts, fonts or embeds that could set them. |
| Local / session storage | No | Your draw lives only in the open browser window and in the reveal links you share. |
How the site works without cookies
The draw is created in your browser and each person's result is packed into their own reveal link. When someone opens that link, their browser reads the result straight from the address, so nothing needs to be saved on their device or ours. Read more in our privacy policy.
Links to other services
If you share reveal links through an email or chat service, that service may use its own cookies under its own policies.
Changes
If we ever introduce cookies, we'll update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
