Cookie Policy

Last updated April 19, 2026 · Effective April 7, 2026

As of April 7, 2026, the Cookie Policy has been folded into our Privacy Policy as section 10 ("Cookies and local storage"). This page is kept for URL stability and for visitors who land here directly. The complete answer to "what does Umbrella X store in my browser?" is below in one paragraph; the formal version with all the GDPR and ePrivacy framing is on the Privacy Policy page.

The short version

Our website at umbrellax.io uses a small set of strictly functional local storage values. theme remembers whether you last chose light or dark mode. lang remembers your language preference on the landing page. ux-read:<slug>:<YYYY-MM-DD> may be stored on article pages after a qualified read so the same browser does not count the same article repeatedly in one local day. These values live on your device and are not sent to us or any third party. The mobile application does not use cookies at all. We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, or any other analytics product. We do not use Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or any other advertising pixel. We do not use session replay or heatmap tools. We do not embed YouTube videos, Twitter timelines, Facebook buttons, Disqus comments, or any other third-party widget that sets cookies from a foreign domain. Our fonts are self-hosted. Because everything we store is strictly necessary for your own choices or for aggregate read counting, consent under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive is not required, and we do not show a cookie banner.

How to opt out

If you want to remove these values anyway, open your browser's site data dialog for umbrellax.io and clear it. The website will continue to work normally and will simply forget your theme, language choice, and same-day article read markers on the next visit.
