No Cookie Banner Needed

Why cookie banners exist

Cookie banners aren't there to be annoying — they exist because a lot of sites genuinely do put tracking cookies on your device, and the law (sensibly) says they have to ask first. If a site is loading ad-tracking pixels, profiling cookies, and a dozen third-party scripts, a banner is the right thing to do.

What we use cookies for

Almost nothing. The tools on GoWin don't drop tracking cookies. We use Google Analytics for aggregate page views — the same way most sites do — and that's about the extent of it. A few preferences (like the profile you set up for yourself) are saved in your browser's local storage, which lives on your device and isn't shared with us.

Because we're not doing the kinds of things cookie banners are designed to ask consent for, we don't show one. Adding a banner just to look compliant would be theatre — and an extra click between you and the tool you came to use.

What that means for you

You land on a page, the tool is right there, and there's no overlay to dismiss before you can start. If our setup ever changes — say we add something that genuinely needs consent — we'll add the banner along with it. Until then, we'd rather just stay out of your way.

The short version

We don't ask permission to track you because we're not tracking you. The tool is the page, the page is the tool, and the only thing between you and the answer is how fast you can type.
