In short
No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no consent banner — because there is nothing to consent to. We store one item in your browser to remember whether you prefer the light or dark theme.
01What this site stores
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light, dark or system so the page does not flash the wrong theme on your next visit. | Until you clear it |
That is the complete list. It is strictly necessary for a preference you set yourself, contains no identifier, and is never sent to a server — it stays in your browser.
02Analytics
We use privacy-preserving analytics that set no cookies and store no identifiers. It counts page views, referrers and country at an aggregate level only.
It cannot follow you across websites, cannot recognise you on a return visit, and produces no personal data. Because it does not access or store information on your device, it does not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive.
03Checkout
When you buy a plan, checkout is operated by Paddle.com Market Ltd.. Paddle sets its own strictly-necessary cookies to run the payment session and to prevent fraud.
Those cookies are set by Paddle as an independent controller and are governed by Paddle’s own cookie and privacy notices, shown to you during checkout. They only appear if you actually open a checkout.
04The extensions are separate
This policy covers the exthive.com website only. Our extensions do not use cookies at all; they use the browser’s sandboxed extension storage for your settings. Each extension’s privacy policy documents exactly what it stores.
05Your control
You can clear site data for this domain at any time from your browser settings. The only consequence is that your theme choice is forgotten and the site follows your operating system preference again.
Blocking storage for this site entirely will not break any functionality. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals need no special handling here, since we run nothing that would respond to them.
06Changes
If we ever introduce a cookie beyond the one listed above, we will update this page first and, where consent is legally required, ask for it before setting anything. Contact privacy@exthive.com with any question about this policy.
