There are no cookies on this site.

The claim

Nothing on dash-b.com sets a cookie

Not an analytics cookie, not a consent cookie, not a session cookie, not a "strictly necessary" cookie. This is a static site: every page you can reach here was written to disk before you arrived, and there is no session for a cookie to identify.

Visits are still counted — by Observer, the castomo family's own analytics, built to work without a cookie and without storing anything on your device.

This is also why you were never shown a banner. A consent banner is not a courtesy — it is what a site owes you once it has decided to store something on your machine that it did not need. Nothing here made that decision, so there is nothing to ask you about, and no button to click before you can read.

The exceptions, named

Local storage, which is not the same thing

Choosing light, dark or high-contrast writes a value called dashb-style into your browser's local storage, so the next page you open is already in the style you picked rather than flashing the wrong one at you.

Only if you open the chat: castomo.chat.<widget id>.returning (the value 1) and, while the chat is open, castomo.chat.<widget id>.open, on this site; and castomo.chat.<widget id>.token and castomo.chat.<widget id>.visit on chat.castomapi.com. Nothing is written before you open it. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.

Local storage is not a cookie, and the difference is the part that matters to you rather than a technicality: a cookie is attached to every request your browser makes to the server, so the server sees it. Local storage is never attached to a request. The style value stays on your machine, and no server of ours has ever seen which style you prefer. The chat's entries likewise are not attached to page requests.

Clearing your site data removes the style value, and the only consequence is that the page opens in the default style again.

Third parties

Four requests leave this site: the typeface, the scoreboard, the visit counter and the chat button

The font these words are set in is fetched from Google's font servers. It sets no cookie, but the request itself tells Google your IP address and which page asked for the font — and a page claiming to be free of third parties should say so rather than let you discover it in a network tab.

The other is the front page asking our own leaderboard service — social.castomapi.com, run by the same company this page names — for the current game standings. That request goes to us, not to a third party: no cookie, and nothing about you but the request itself.

The last two are scripts, and they are ours: no scripts from other companies. Every page loads scripts only from this website and from two services run by Castomo — Observer (observer.castomo.com) and the chat button (chat.castomapi.com). Observer counts a visit, sets no cookie, stores nothing on your device, never stores your IP address, and sends no visit data if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. The chat button stores nothing until you open it; what it stores then is named under local storage above.

Beyond those four there is no tag manager here, no advertising network, no embedded video, no social button, no comment system and no font of any other kind. The font is being moved onto our own servers; when it is, the typeface line above will say that instead.

The designer

app.dash-b.com keeps your work, and has to

The designer is a different site with a different job. A dashboard you are building has to survive you closing the tab, so it is kept in your browser's own storage — on your machine, not on a server. Signing in additionally keeps you signed in, which is what being signed in means.

None of that is advertising or measurement. It is the product doing the thing you opened it to do, and the amount it keeps is decided by how far into it you go: designing without an account sends nothing anywhere at all. The privacy policy walks through each stage.
