Cookies

Last updated 10 July 2026

Ticked sets no cookies. Not necessary ones, not analytics ones, not advertising ones. Nothing is written to your device, and nothing is read from it. That is why you have not been shown a cookie banner: the law requires consent for storing or accessing information on your device, and this site does neither.

What about local storage, or anything like it?

Nothing. Your worksheet options are held in the page's address bar while you are on it — that is what lets you share a link to a particular sheet — and are forgotten the moment you close the tab. They are never written to your device and never sent to us.

How does the analytics work without cookies?

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts a page view without identifying the visitor and without storing anything on your device. It cannot follow you across sites, and it cannot build a profile, because it has nowhere to keep one. It does process your IP address in transit, which the privacy policy explains.

This was a deliberate choice over the more common analytics tools, which set cookies and would have obliged us to put a banner in front of a site whose whole promise is that you can print a worksheet in ten seconds without signing up for anything.

What would have to change

Ticked is free to use and free of charge. If it is ever funded by advertising, that will change this page, because advertising technology stores and reads information on your device — even non-personalised advertising does, for frequency capping and fraud prevention. If that day comes:

• you will be asked for consent before any advertising code loads, not after;
• refusing will be exactly as easy, and as prominent, as accepting;
• this page and the privacy policy will be rewritten first, describing what is actually set and by whom.

Until then, there is nothing here to opt out of.
