The position in one sentence: NovoltGear sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party scripts — so there is no consent banner to click, because there is nothing to consent to. The notice you may have seen at the bottom of the page is an information notice, not a permission gate, and dismissing it does not enable anything.
Why there is no consent banner
Consent banners exist because most sites load analytics, advertising or social scripts that set cookies and follow a visitor beyond the site that set them. The law requires permission before that happens.
This site does none of it. Pages are served as static files from a single domain, with the styles, scripts and images coming from that same domain. No third party is contacted when you load a page. There is therefore nothing for a banner to ask permission for.
Showing a "we value your privacy" dialog with an "Accept all" button when there is nothing to accept is a dark pattern, and it is one of the reasons people have stopped reading them. It would also train visitors to click through a dialog that matters on sites where it genuinely does.
What is stored in your browser
| Item | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
novoltgear.cookieNoticeRead | Local storage entry | Records that you dismissed the information notice, so it does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear it |
That is the complete list. There are no other cookies, no local storage keys, no session storage entries and no IndexedDB databases set by this site.
This entry contains a single value — that the notice was dismissed. It holds no identifier, no timestamp linking you to a visit, and nothing that could be used to recognise you. It is never transmitted anywhere, because the site has no server-side code to transmit it to.
Why local storage rather than a cookie
Local storage is used because it is not sent to a server on every request, which makes it the more private mechanism for storing a purely local preference. The practical difference for you is that it is easy to remove: it lives with the site's data in your browser settings, and clearing site data removes it.
How to remove it
Clearing site data for novoltgear.com in your browser will remove the entry. The only consequence is that the information notice will appear again on your next visit. The site functions identically either way — nothing is gated behind it.
Outbound links
When you follow a link from this site to a manufacturer or retailer, you leave this site and that company's own cookie and privacy practices apply. Many retailers set cookies for shopping baskets, fraud prevention and advertising. We have no control over that and no visibility into it. If that matters to you, check the destination site's own notice — and note that a link on this site is never an endorsement of how the destination handles your data.
If this changes
If the site ever introduces something that does require consent — analytics, a comment system, an embedded video provider — this notice and the privacy policy will be updated first, and a real consent mechanism will be added at that point. Until then, there is nothing to ask you about. This notice was last updated 2026-10-04.
