1. Our Engineering Philosophy: A Clean Web Free of Trackers
Unlike most corporate websites that burden users with dozens of third-party trackers, invasive advertising beacons, and disruptive pop-up banners, Berlo Desarrollos enforces a strict zero-invasive-tracking standard.
We do not deploy persistent Google Analytics cookies, Facebook/Meta marketing pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking scripts.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
A cookie is a small text file downloaded onto your browser to retain technical state. In addition to cookies, modern web standards offer localStorage and sessionStorage, which store user display preferences locally on your device without transmitting personal identifiers to third-party marketing servers.
3. Technologies Used on berlo.dev
Our web platform exclusively relies on essential technical mechanisms and first-party anonymous telemetry:
| Key / Identifier | Technology | Technical Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
berlo_theme |
Local Storage (localStorage) | Stores your visual theme choice (Dark Mode or Light Mode). | Persistent locally on client |
berlo_a11y_prefs |
Local Storage (localStorage) | Retains accessibility settings (high contrast, reduced animations). | Persistent locally on client |
PHPSESSID |
Essential Session Cookie | Ensures form submission integrity and defends against CSRF attacks. Active only during session. | Session (deleted upon browser close) |
tracker.js |
Ethical First-Party Telemetry | Calculates aggregated site metrics (pages viewed, device type, load latency). Does not use cookies or log personal IP addresses. | Cookieless |
4. Why We Don't Disrupt You With a Cookie Banner
Under international guidelines (including EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR), consent pop-up banners are only mandatory when websites deploy non-essential third-party tracking or advertising profiling cookies.
Because berlo.dev is built strictly on essential technical storage and privacy-respecting first-party analytics, we are not required to obstruct your viewport with cookie modals. This keeps our interface accessible, lightweight, and focused purely on speed.
