Cookies and storage
There is no cookie banner on this site because there are no cookies. This page lists the one small thing the site can keep in your browser, and how to remove it.
The short version
- No cookies, no adverts, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
- If you press the Motion button at the foot of a page, your choice is kept in your own browser so that the next page remembers it. Nothing is sent to us.
- Everything the site needs, from fonts to maps, comes from ourcenturies.com itself.
1. What this page covers
This page explains what Our Centuries stores on, or reads from, your device. “Your device” means the phone, tablet or computer you are using, and “storage” includes cookies, local storage, session storage and anything similar. Our privacy policy covers personal data more widely.
2. What we keep on your device
| Name | Where | What it holds | When it is set | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| oc-motion | Local storage | The word “on” or “off” | Only when you press the Motion button | Until you clear this site’s data in your browser |
That is the complete list. It holds no identifier, no date and nothing about you, and it is never sent to us or anyone else.
3. What we read from your device
To decide whether to animate, the site asks your browser whether you have asked your device for reduced motion, through a standard feature called prefers-reduced-motion. The site also reads the width of your screen to lay out the page. Both answers stay in your browser.
4. Why none of this needs a banner
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) require consent before a website stores or reads information on your device, with some exceptions. One of them, in force since 5 February 2026, covers storage used only to adapt how a site looks or works to a preference you have set, as long as you are told and can easily object. Remembering whether you want animation is exactly that. You are told here, and you object simply by not pressing the button, or by clearing it as described below.
We think this is the right reading of the law. If you disagree or have a concern, tell us at privacy@fallinghippo.com.
5. What other people’s services might set
None. The site loads nothing from any other company’s servers. If you follow a link to another website, such as a museum or a journal, that site may set its own cookies under its own policy.
Our host, Cloudflare, may in some circumstances set a short-lived security cookie to tell people from attacking computers, for example during an attack on the site. That cookie is strictly necessary for security, which PECR allows without consent.
6. How to remove or block what is kept
- Press the Motion button again to change your choice.
- To remove it entirely, clear the data for ourcenturies.com in your browser’s settings. In most browsers this is under Settings, then Privacy, then Site data or Cookies and site data.
- You can block local storage for this site in your browser. The site will still work; it just won’t remember your motion choice between pages.
7. Changes
If we ever add anything to the table in section 2, we’ll update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
