Privacy
This site sets no cookies and collects no personal data. Its analytics are anonymous, cookieless, and served from this domain.
What this site does not do
No cookies are set. No session cookie, no technical cookie, no preference cookie. No consent banner is needed, because there is nothing to consent to.
No trackers are loaded. No advertising pixel, no browser fingerprinting, no heatmap, no session recording, no profile. Nothing links two of your visits, and nothing follows you from one site to another.
No third-party resource is loaded at runtime. Fonts are served from this domain, and so are
the analytics: their script lives under /_vercel/insights/, a path the host serves on this
domain. There is no remote library, no web font service, no external image, no embedded video
player. Your browser contacts no server other than this one during your visit.
No accounts exist. No sign-up, no log-in, no profile, no user database. The site is a set of static files.
No personal data is collected. No form, no comment, no input field sent anywhere. The catalogue search runs entirely in your browser: what you type goes nowhere.
What is stored on your device
Two preferences, and only if you express them explicitly:
| Key | What it holds | When it is written |
|---|---|---|
overkill-theme | light or dark | only if you click the theme toggle |
overkill-lang | fr or en | only if you click the language switch |
These values live in your browser’s local storage. They are never transmitted, they contain no identifier, and they are not written until you have chosen something. Clearing the site’s data removes them.
The only possible processing
If you write to the address given on the help page, your message and your email address arrive in an ordinary mailbox.
| Purpose | to reply to your message |
| Legal basis | your own initiative in writing |
| Recipient | the site’s publisher, nobody else |
| Retention | three years after the last exchange, then deletion |
| Your rights | access, rectification, erasure, objection, on request to that same address |
Your address is added to no mailing list, passed to nobody, and used for nothing else.
The host’s logs
Like any server, this site’s host keeps technical logs containing your IP address, to run the service and defend against abuse. That processing is the host’s, whose identity appears on the legal notice page. We have no access to it and derive no statistics from it.
The analytics, and what they do not do
Until 14 September 2026, this page promised that no analytics existed, and that if they ever arrived they would be cookie-free, without individual identifiers and aggregated, announced here before being put in place, and that this page would carry a new date. They have arrived, and the promise is kept.
What is measured: the number of page views, which page, the referrer when the browser sends one, the country, the kind of device. That is all, and it is aggregated.
| What the measurement does | What it does not do |
|---|---|
| Count page views | Set a cookie, or read anyone else’s |
| Name the page and the referrer | Write an identifier in your browser |
| Place a country and a device kind | Link two of your visits together |
| Aggregate all of it | Follow you onto another site |
| Get served from this domain | Sell, resell or enrich anything |
The processing is the host’s, whose identity appears on the legal notice page, as part of the service it provides to the site. No personal data leaves it, and no profile is built.
Why we added them. A catalogue that recommends the most frugal option has to know which of its entries are of use to anyone: writing twenty-five entries blind is not frugality, it is waste. We picked the least intrusive measurement available, and it remains the only exception to the rule that forbids third-party resources.
If you would rather not be counted, a request blocker is enough, and the site works exactly the same: there is nothing to unblock in order to read it.
Why this page says something
On a site that talks about frugality and regulatory risk, what you load onto a reader’s machine is not a formality, it is a demonstration. Every tracker a site adds is a decision: someone judged that knowing your behaviour was worth more than leaving you alone. Here, that decision was not taken. What was taken is a page-view counter that does not know who you are, and that is written down plainly rather than buried in a thirty-paragraph policy.
You can check for yourself. Open your browser’s network tab and reload: you will see only this domain.
