What cookies we use (if any) and how to control them.
Short version
Pronix is a static website. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. For aggregate visit statistics, our self-hosted Matomo instance sets two small first-party cookies — DNT is honored server-side, the IP is /16-anonymized. Alongside that there are two strictly-necessary technical cookies for language preference and theme.
Cookies we may set
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Language preference | Remembers your chosen UI language between visits | Up to 1 year |
| Theme (light/dark) | Remembers your chosen color theme | Up to 1 year |
_pk_id.3.* | Matomo visitor ID (first-party, no personal identifier) | ~13 months |
_pk_ses.3.* | Matomo session cookie (first-party) | 30 minutes |
All of these are first-party, set only by this site, and contain no personal identifier. The first two are technically necessary. The Matomo cookies rely on legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6 (1) f) — since DNT is honored server-side, the IP is anonymized, and there is no cross-site reach, the setup is minimally invasive and, by common supervisory-authority practice, does not require prior consent.
Cookies we do not set
- No third-party analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no Cloudflare Analytics. Our own Matomo cookies — see the table above.
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No social-media tracking cookies. We do not embed share buttons that load third-party tracking.
- No fingerprinting. We do not run scripts to identify you across visits without cookies.
Third-party scripts
The site loads no third-party scripts that could set cookies on their own behalf. No CDN-hosted analytics, no embedded videos from tracking platforms, no chat widgets.
Controlling cookies
Matomo cookies are only set if your browser does not send the
Do-Not-Track header. DNT enabled → no tracking, no Matomo
cookies. If you want to opt out anyway: block the Matomo
domain (stats.pronix.info) in your browser, or delete the
cookies manually — every browser offers controls for this
under “Settings → Privacy” or equivalent.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The lastmod date at the top of the
file reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be
noted prominently on the site for a reasonable period.
