We do not argue. We rearrange.

Privacy notice

What this site actually does and does not do, written so that you can check it.

August 17, 2026

What does not happen

  • No cookies are set. None at all.
  • No JavaScript runs. Article pages carry one script tag, but it holds structured data (JSON-LD) for search engines — data, not code the browser executes.
  • No analytics. Neither Google Analytics nor any alternative.
  • No external resources are loaded. Web fonts are used, but served from this domain. No request goes to Google Fonts or any CDN. Your browser does not contact another company’s server while reading a page here.
  • No accounts, logins or comments. There is no form to fill in.

That is why there is no cookie consent banner. It has not been omitted — there is nothing to consent to.

You can verify this. Open your browser’s developer tools, look at the network tab, and reload this page: every request goes to this domain.

What is processed anyway

Fetching a page over the internet leaves a technical trace. This site is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes the following in order to serve and protect it:

  • IP address
  • Time of the request and the address requested
  • Browser and device type (User-Agent)

This exists to make the site work and to stop attacks. Arbitoria does not use these records for marketing or profiling. Cloudflare acts as a processor for this.

Articles carry a lot of source links, because the editorial principles require every claim to be backed by a verifiable link.

Following one of those links takes you to that site, and that site’s own policy applies from then on. Arbitoria has no control over what is collected there. While you stay on this page, however, no request is sent to those sites. A link only acts when it is clicked.

RSS

If you subscribe to a feed such as /en/rss.xml, your reader will poll this site periodically. Those requests are logged in the same way as above. Nothing identifies an individual subscriber.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation you may request:

  • Access to personal data being processed
  • Rectification and erasure
  • Restriction of and objection to processing
  • To lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Belgium: the Data Protection Authority / Autorité de protection des données)

Requests can be sent to:

contact@arbitoria.com

Note that this site holds no identifying information of its own — no names, no email addresses — so in most cases there is nothing on our side to erase.

Status of this document

This has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.

It is a factual description of what the site does, not a document prepared by counsel. The facts above can be verified as described; whether the legal form is sufficient is a separate question. When a review has been done, this notice will be removed and the change recorded below.

Saying so seemed better than presenting it as finished.

Change log

  • 2026-08-17 — Two statements corrected. First, this said the site “contains zero script tags”; article pages in fact carry one, holding structured data (JSON-LD). The original sentence was written after checking only an index page. It now reads “no JavaScript runs”. Second, web fonts were introduced, so “no web fonts” became “served from this domain”. That no request leaves for a third party remains true.
  • 2026-08-16 — First version. Written when the blog moved to arbitoria.com and was separated from the previous notice.
