The Cookie Protocol
We use a strictly minimal set of technical cookies to ensure the site functions with precision. No tracking pixels, no behavioral profiling, no third-party data sales.
What Constitutes a "Cookie" Here
In the context of Cuiko.click, a cookie is not a marketing tool; it is a necessary mechanism for session continuity. We deploy a single category of cookies: Strictly Necessary.
These files are small text fragments stored temporarily in your browser memory. Their sole function is to remember that you are a unique visitor interacting with our static infrastructure. Without them, features like maintaining a stable view during your visit or ensuring the security of your connection (CSRF protection) would be impossible to verify without server-side sessions, which we explicitly avoid.
We do not use cookies to gather analytics about your behavior. We do not use "persistent" cookies to track you across other websites. We do not store personal data within cookie files. The data we process is ephemeral—it exists only to facilitate the immediate request you make to our servers.
Technical Classification
All deployed cookies fall under the "HTTP Strict Transport Security" (HSTS) and "Load Balancer Stickiness" protocols. They are first-party only, meaning they are issued strictly by the domain cuiko.click.
Operational Friction
The Cookie Banner Trap
Most sites bury essential scripts behind GDPR banners. We refuse this pattern. If a cookie is strictly necessary, it loads immediately. We do not ask permission for infrastructure.
Third-Party Leakage
Analytics scripts often transfer user data to external servers. Cuiko.click hosts zero third-party trackers. The request never leaves our own infrastructure.
Persistent Storage
Storing data longer than the session lifecycle increases vulnerability. We practice "Zero-Retention" for all transient data. Nothing persists.
Design Trade-offs
We prioritize security and privacy over convenience. Here is what that means for your experience:
Downside: You will need to re-verify on return visits.
Mitigation: We rely on password managers and modern browser credential autofill, which is faster than a persistent cookie token.
Downside: We cannot optimize page layouts based on heatmaps.
Mitigation: We rely on editorial intent and direct feedback. Design is curated, not algorithmically A/B tested.
Downside: No video backgrounds or interactive social feeds.
Mitigation: Pages load instantly and remain readable on unstable connections (e.g., mobile networks).
