One session cookie and nothing else
Cookie banners got large because sites collect a lot. Ours is one line, because we collect almost nothing.
The only cookie we set
After you sign in, Norsolia sets __Host-norsolia_session. It holds a random session id and nothing else, and it is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. It is strictly necessary: it is how you stay signed in. There is no consent to collect for it, and there is no second cookie waiting behind a toggle.
What stays in your browser
Your light or dark theme and a flag that dismisses the cookie notice live in localStorage. They never travel to our server.
What is not there
No analytics, advertising or third-party cookies. No pixels. The reason the banner is short is that there is nothing to ask you about. The full list is on the cookie policy.
