The short version
www.opsliy.com sets two cookies, both from Google Analytics, and only after you accept them. Decline and none are set. Nothing you type into a document is sent anywhere either way.
The two cookies, and when they appear
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells one returning browser from another, so a repeat visit is not counted twice | 2 years |
_ga_J5QEZMC2Y3 | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of a single visit for this property | 2 years |
Neither is set when you arrive. The analytics tag loads with storage denied, which means Google receives a page view with no identifier attached and writes nothing to your device. If you accept, the cookies are set from that point and the same page views carry an identifier.
If you decline, nothing changes except that the bar stops appearing. Measurement continues in the identifier-free form, which is what the tag does by default.
Why there are any at all
Cookies exist to carry state between requests. This site has no accounts to keep you signed in to and no basket to remember. The generators keep their state in the page itself, which is discarded when you close the tab.
The two above exist for one reason: to count how many people use the site and which pages they read. That is a legitimate thing to want to know and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
What the site stores on your device
| What | Where | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nothing | Cookies | No cookies are set | Not applicable |
| Nothing | Local storage, session storage | Not used. Your sheet lives in the page, not in storage | Not applicable |
| The page, its stylesheet and its scripts | Ordinary browser cache | So a second visit loads quickly | Until your browser clears it |
| Files you save yourself | Wherever you choose to put them | Only when you choose Save as file, or save a PDF | Until you delete them |
Third parties
The site loads its typefaces from [font provider]. Fonts are requested as ordinary files and no cookie is set by that request, but the request does disclose your IP address to them. This is covered on the privacy page.
There is no advertising, no embedded video, no social widget and no tag manager, so no third party is in a position to set a cookie here.
Checking for yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. In any browser, open the developer tools, go to the Application or Storage panel, and look at Cookies for this site. It will be empty.
If you find a cookie set by www.opsliy.com other than the two named above, or either of those before you have accepted them, that is a bug and we would like to hear about it: [hello@opsliy.com].
Changes
If this ever changes, and it would only change to support something that cannot be built any other way, this page will say so before it happens and the release notes will record it.
