This Cookie Policy explains how maxdoesit.com ("Site") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It complies with the EU ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, and CCPA.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites function, remember preferences, and understand visitor behavior.
Cookie Categories Used on This Site
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Status: None used. This is a static site with no user accounts, shopping cart, or session management. No essential cookies are set by the Site itself.
2. Analytics Cookies
Status: Cookie-less analytics. I use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first, cookie-less analytics platform. It does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not use browser fingerprinting. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
3. Functional / Preference Cookies
Status: None set by this Site. Your cookie consent preference is stored in localStorage (not a cookie) so the banner remembers your choice.
4. Marketing / Targeting Cookies
Status: None set by this Site. I do not use advertising pixels, retargeting, or social media tracking pixels on this Site.
5. Third-Party Cookies (When You Interact)
| Service | Purpose | Cookies Set | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cal.com | Appointment scheduling | __cf_bm, set on cal.com's own domain | On the Book a Call page (loading the calendar is that page's whole purpose), after you enable Functional cookies elsewhere, or if you visit the Cal.com booking page directly |
| Cloudflare | Security, CDN, bot protection | __cf_bm (bot management), where enabled | Not observed at the last verification; Cloudflare may set it if bot protection is enabled on a future configuration |
These third-party cookies are controlled by their respective providers. See their privacy policies:
Your Cookie Choices
Cookie Consent Banner
On your first visit, a banner appears allowing you to:
- Accept All: Loads the Cal.com booking widget so you can book without leaving this site
- Reject Non-Essential: Blocks optional third-party cookies (analytics already cookie-less). Booking buttons still work: they become ordinary links to the Cal.com booking page, which loads nothing here until you choose to follow one.
- Manage Preferences: Granular control per category
Your choice is saved in localStorage for 12 months.
Browser Controls
You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings:
Do Not Track (DNT)
The Site respects the DNT: 1 header. When enabled, analytics tracking is disabled and third-party cookies are blocked.
How this was verified
On 12 August 2026 the Site was loaded in an instrumented browser
and every cookie, every localStorage entry and every third-party request
was captured, in three states: before any cookie choice, with cookies declined, and
with cookies accepted. The results are what this policy describes. Before a choice
is made, and when cookies are declined, the Site contacts no third party and stores
nothing on your device beyond your choice itself.
This is a factual description of what the Site does, written by reading its actual behaviour rather than a template. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer, and it is not legal advice; if you are relying on it for a compliance decision, have counsel review it.
Changes to This Policy
Updates will be posted here with a revised date. Material changes will be announced via the cookie banner.
