Cookie Policy
Copy retrieved 2026-11-09.
numetal.xyz uses no advertising, analytics, profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies, embeds no third-party marketing pixels, and loads no consent-management platform. The only cookies that may be set are strictly necessary security cookies placed by our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare, to protect the site against bots and abuse and to deliver content.
01 · Why there is no consent banner
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and its national transpositions — UK PECR reg. 6(4), Germany’s TDDDG §25(2), and France via the CNIL — strictly necessary cookies are exempt from prior consent. Because the site sets only such cookies and no non-essential storage, GDPR’s consent machinery is not triggered. Our obligation is transparency, met by this page — not a consent prompt. Adding a banner would itself introduce unnecessary storage, so we deliberately do not.
02 · Cookies that may be set
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Type / legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated traffic to protect the site. Not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. | ~30 min (rolling) | Strictly necessary — exempt from consent (ePrivacy Art 5(3)); security processing under GDPR Art 6(1)(f) |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Stores the result of a security challenge so a verified visitor is not re-challenged on every request. | ~30 min | Strictly necessary — exempt from consent; GDPR Art 6(1)(f) |
__cflb / cf_use_ob | Cloudflare | Session routing for load balancing (may not appear on this site). | Session / short-lived | Strictly necessary — exempt from consent |
03 · What we do not do
We set no first-party Numetal cookies. We do not sell or share any data derived from these cookies, and we do not use them for advertising, profiling, or targeted advertising (CCPA/CPRA). The read-only fee dashboard at reads public on-chain data from the Base network through fixed server-side endpoints; it does not set tracking cookies in your browser and does not build a profile of you.
04 · Managing cookies
Because these cookies are strictly necessary, blocking them in your browser may break security challenges and prevent the site from loading. You can still delete them at any time via your browser settings. For how Cloudflare processes request data, see Cloudflare’s cookie documentation and privacy policy.
