Cookie Policy

1. Summary

Browsing this Website sets no cookies at all. The single cookie described below is set only after a NOVA staff member signs in to our private admin area, and it is strictly necessary for that sign-in to work. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any form of cross-site tracking, and our analytics do not use cookies.

That is why you were not shown a cookie consent banner: under the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive, consent is required before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary, and we do not set any.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to store and retrieve information, allowing a website to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, or gather statistics about how the site is used.

3. Cookies We Set

This is the complete list. If it is not in this table, we do not set it.

4. Analytics Without Cookies

We measure Website traffic using Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first by design. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and does not build a per-visitor identifier or profile. It cannot follow you across other websites.

It reports only aggregate, non-identifying information: which pages were viewed, the referring site, approximate country, browser and device type, and page-load performance. Cloudflare does not use this data to fingerprint or track individuals, and we cannot use it to identify you. Because no information is stored on or read from your device, this does not require your consent.

5. What We Do Not Use

• No advertising or retargeting. We run no ad pixels, no conversion tags, and no remarketing tools. We do not sell or share visitor data with advertising networks.
• No Google Analytics. The Website does not load Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or any other cookie-based analytics product.
• No social media widgets. There are no embedded like buttons, share widgets, or tracking scripts from social networks.
• No third-party fonts. Our typefaces are served from our own servers rather than a font CDN, so no third party receives your IP address when a page loads.

6. Third-Party Cookies

No third party sets cookies through this Website. The only third-party request a page makes is to load the cookieless Cloudflare Web Analytics script described in section 4. Cloudflare acts as our data processor for that measurement; you can read their approach at cloudflare.com/web-analytics.

Pages that link out to other websites are governed by those sites’ own cookie and privacy practices once you follow the link, and we are not responsible for them.

7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Because we set no non-essential cookies, there is nothing here for you to opt out of. You remain in full control regardless: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies from its privacy or security settings, and browser add-ons offer finer control. Blocking cookies will not affect your use of the public parts of this Website — it will only prevent NOVA staff from signing in to the admin area.

8. Changes to This Policy

We will update this page if our use of cookies changes. Should we ever introduce cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before setting them, rather than relying on continued use of the Website as agreement.
