Last updated: September 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how AxioStats (“we”) uses cookies and similar client-side storage technologies on https://axiostats.com.
The short version: we use no advertising, analytics or social-media cookies. The only storage used by the site is technical and preference-related, described below. We do not sell or share your data with advertising networks.
1. What cookies and storage we use
| Storage | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
theme |
Local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers your light/dark theme preference | Until you clear it |
axio:scroll |
Session storage | Restores your scroll position when switching language in place | End of session |
| Poll votes | Local storage | Keeps your “Vox” poll votes on your own device (demonstration mode) | Until you clear it |
Cookies or storage used purely to provide the Service are strictly necessary — they exist to honor choices you made on the site and require no consent banner under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.
2. What we do NOT use
- ❌ Third-party advertising or retargeting cookies
- ❌ Analytics cookies (we do not run Google Analytics or similar trackers)
- ❌ Social-media sharing widgets that set cookies
- ❌ Cross-site tracking of any kind
3. Third-party content
Dataset pages may link out to third-party sources (FRED, Wikipedia, npm, official statistical agencies). Once you leave the site, those services’ own cookie and privacy policies apply — we do not control them.
4. How to control storage
Because all storage is client-side, you can clear or block it at any time without breaking core functionality:
- Browser settings: block or delete cookies and site data for axiostats.com.
- Site settings: clearing
localStoragefor the site resets your theme and poll votes. - Private browsing: the site works fully in private/incognito windows.
5. Changes to this policy
If we ever introduce storage that is not strictly necessary, we will update this page and, where required by law, ask for your consent before activating it.
