Cookie Policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

Summary

This website does not set any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. Neither does our product Demo on demo.double-a-sec.com. Everything either of them keeps in your browser is listed on this page, and nothing is stored until you do something: switch the theme, close the cookie notice, or change something in the Demo.

All of this is strictly necessary for a service you asked for, or a preference you set yourself, so we do not ask for consent and there is nothing to opt in to or out of. You can delete any of it in your browser at any time; see Your choices.

What this page covers

Cookies and browser storage such as local storage are treated the same way by law: both store information on your device. This page therefore lists both, in two tables, one for this website and one for the Demo, and states for each entry what it is for, when it is created, how long it stays, and what happens if you delete it. This page is not a legal determination; it describes what our sites do today, and we update it when that changes.

This website (double-a-sec.com)

Our own code on this website sets no cookies. It keeps two values in your browser’s local storage, and only after you act:

Name Type Purpose Created when Kept for If you delete it
theme Local storage Remembers your light or dark theme choice. You press the theme switch in the header. Until you clear it. Local storage has no expiry date. The site follows your system theme again.
cookies-ok Local storage Remembers that you closed the cookie notice. You press OK on the cookie notice. Until you clear it. The cookie notice is shown again.

The stored values are the words “light” or “dark” and the digit “1”. They contain no identifier, they never leave your device, and they are not sent to us or to anyone else. The cookie notice appears on the home, pricing, MCP and documentation pages. Pressing OK only closes it; it switches nothing on or off.

Our product Demo works without an account. So that it can show you your own changes, it keeps them in your browser, in one cookie, and it keeps two preferences in local storage:

Name Type Purpose Created when Kept for If you delete it
cra_demo Cookie Keeps the changes you made in the Demo, so the Demo shows them on your next request. You make your first change in the Demo. Looking around sets nothing. 7 days after your last change in the Demo The Demo shows its original sample data again.
axa-theme Local storage Remembers your light or dark theme choice in the Demo. You press the theme switch in the Demo. Until you clear it. The Demo follows your system theme again.
demo-cookie-notice Local storage Remembers that you closed the Demo’s cookie notice. You press OK on the notice in the Demo. Until you clear it. The notice is shown again.

What is in the Demo cookie

Where the Demo cookie goes

How the Demo counts its use in aggregate, without anything from your browser, is described in our Privacy Policy.

Cookies Cloudflare may set

Cloudflare serves both sites and protects them from malicious traffic. Depending on which protections we have switched on, Cloudflare may set the strictly necessary cookies below. They are set by Cloudflare, not by our code, and we list them here so that this page stays accurate the moment a protection is enabled:

Cookie Set when Purpose Duration
__cf_bm Cloudflare bot protection is enabled. Bot management: distinguishes humans from automated traffic. Not shared across sites. 30 minutes after your last request
_cfuvid A Cloudflare rate-limiting rule that tells visitors apart is enabled. Rate limiting: distinguishes individual visitors sharing one IP address. Browser session
cf_clearance Cloudflare shows you a security challenge and you pass it. Remembers that you passed the challenge, so it is not repeated on every page. As configured for the challenge in our Cloudflare account
CF_Authorization and related Cloudflare Access cookies A member of our team signs in to the admin area of this website. Access control for our staff only. Visitors never receive these cookies. Up to 24 hours by default

These cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the sites securely. They do not identify you personally and are not used for tracking or advertising. Cloudflare may process them in data centres outside the EU; see our Privacy Policy and Cloudflare’s cookie documentation for details.

Cookie-less aggregate measurement

We measure interest in two things only, and neither uses cookies or browser storage:

Each of these only increases a daily total. No identifier is created, and nothing is stored in your browser for it. Like every request, the one that reports a Demo click carries the usual technical data such as your IP address; how that data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy. The theme, cookies-ok and Demo values above play no part in this measurement.

What we do not do

Legal basis

Storing information on your device, and reading it back, requires your consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly asked for (Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC; in Austria, § 165(3) of the Telecommunications Act 2021). Every entry on this page falls under that exception: a preference you set yourself, a record that you closed a notice, the state of the Demo you are using, or a security cookie needed to serve the site. That is why our cookie notices inform you rather than ask you. The processing of any personal data on our servers, such as IP addresses in Cloudflare’s logs, is covered by our Privacy Policy.

Your choices

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and storage, there is nothing to opt out of that would not break the service itself. You can still delete or block cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings, for this website and for the Demo separately. The consequences are those in the tables above: the theme falls back to your system setting, a notice is shown again, the Demo returns to its sample data, and Cloudflare’s protection may ask you to verify more often. If you block JavaScript, links to the Demo keep working and no click is counted.

Changes to this policy

We update this page whenever what our sites keep in your browser changes, and we update the date at the top.
