Cookie notice

This notice describes everything FrostTally stores in your browser and why. The site is deliberately light: there is no analytics suite, no advertising network and no tracking pixel, because nothing here is sold and nothing is measured for a buyer.

1. What a cookie is, and what we actually use

A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep between visits. Local storage does the same job in a slightly different way. FrostTally uses local storage rather than cookies for its own purposes, and the description below covers both, since the effect on you is identical.

2. Strictly necessary

ftConsentChoice · local storage · kept until you clear it

Records whether you chose Accept or Decline on the consent bar. Without it the bar would reappear on every page. This value stays on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else.

These items cannot be switched off separately, because switching them off is the same as clearing them, which simply makes the bar appear again.

3. Notifications

OneSignal · local storage, service worker and an indexed database · kept until you revoke permission

If, and only if, you choose Accept, we download the OneSignal web push script and it registers a service worker at /OneSignalSDKWorker.js. From that point OneSignal stores a subscription identifier and a small amount of technical state, including entries beginning with os_ and a database named ONE_SIGNAL_SDK_DB, so that a notification can be delivered to this browser.

Before you accept, that script is never requested. Choosing Decline clears those entries and deletes the database, and no further request is made. The processor is OneSignal, Inc.; what it receives is described in our privacy notice.

4. Analytics

None. We run no analytics product and place no measurement identifier. What we know about traffic comes from ordinary server logs kept by the hosting provider, described in the privacy notice, and those are not set through your browser.

5. Advertising and marketing

None. FrostTally shows no advertising banners and sells no placements, so there is no advertising identifier to place and no audience to build. If that ever changes this section will be rewritten first, and the consent bar will be changed with it.

6. Fonts and other outside requests

The typeface used across the site is served by Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com when a page loads. That request carries your IP address to Google as any request does; Google states that it does not set cookies for Google Fonts requests. Nothing else on this site is loaded from a third party unless you have accepted notifications.

7. Changing your mind

Choose Decline on the consent bar to clear the notification storage described in section 3. You can also switch notifications off for frosttally.com in your browser settings, and clear site data for this domain from the same settings screen, which removes the consent record as well. Clearing everything simply returns the site to its first-visit state.

8. Consent and the law

Consent for push messaging is collected in the way the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) expects: a clear, separate act by you, recorded with its date, identifying us as the sender, with an easy way to stop. Personal information handled under that consent is dealt with under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Complaints can go to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
