Privacy Policy
The short version: this site does not collect anything about you, and does not set a single cookie.
Current status. As of the review date at the foot of this page, The Demise Ledger sets no cookies, uses no analytics, runs no advertising, and has no accounts, logins or comments. The site contains one interactive form — the novelty “How Will You Demise?” calculator — which is read entirely by JavaScript in your own browser and submits nothing anywhere. Nothing you do on the site is stored anywhere — not on our servers, and not in your browser.
What the site collects
Nothing. There is no analytics script, no tracking pixel, no fingerprinting, and no third-party embed that reports back on you. The counters, the country atlas and the novelty calculator all run entirely inside your own browser; none of your interactions leave your device.
In particular, the "How Will You Demise?" calculator never transmits your answers. The tick-boxes are read by JavaScript running on your machine and are discarded the moment you close the tab.
What the site stores on your device
Nothing. The Ledger sets no cookies and writes nothing to local storage or session storage. Closing the tab leaves no trace of your visit behind.
Server logs
Like effectively every website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard access logs, which typically record the IP address making the request, the page requested, a timestamp, and the browser's user-agent string. These are generated by the hosting infrastructure for security and reliability purposes, are not used to build any profile of you, and are not combined with anything else.
Third parties that see your request
Two external services are contacted by your browser when a page loads, because the site depends on them for its typography and icons:
| Service | Purpose | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Serves the typefaces the site is set in | Your IP address and browser details, as part of the font request |
| Cloudflare (cdnjs) | Serves the icon set | Your IP address and browser details, as part of the icon request |
Neither is asked to identify you, and neither receives anything about what you did on the page. Both operate under their own privacy policies, which govern their handling of that request data.
Advertising
Not currently active. No advertising is served on this site today, and no advertising code is loaded. The section below describes what would change if advertising is introduced later, and this page will be updated with a new review date at that point.
If advertising is enabled in future, it is expected to be supplied by Google AdSense. In that case:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
- Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland would be shown a consent notice before any advertising or measurement cookies were set, and could refuse them.
Children
This site is not directed at children, does not knowingly collect information from anyone, and given that it collects nothing at all, holds no information about children or anyone else.
Your rights
Data protection law — including the GDPR in Europe and the UK, and POPIA in South Africa — gives you rights to access, correct and erase personal data held about you. Because this site holds no personal data, there is nothing to access, correct or erase. If you believe otherwise, please get in touch and it will be investigated.
Changes to this policy
If what the site does changes — most likely by introducing advertising — this page will be updated before that change goes live, and the review date at the foot of the page will move. Material changes will be summarised at the top of this policy.
