Privacy & data

What this site collects, and what it does not.

FlowioLab is a reading site. There are no accounts, no newsletter and no payment details. This page explains the small amount of data that still passes through when you visit, and the choices you have over it.

Last updated 1 November 2026

Who is responsible

FlowioLab is an independent publication based in Denmark. It runs on flowiolab.com and publishes guides plus free browser tools. FlowioLab is the data controller for the limited processing described on this page.

The publication is run by one person, so there is no data protection officer. Requests about data go through the contact route at the bottom of this page.

Cookies and consent

A cookie banner from CookieYes asks for permission before anything beyond strictly necessary storage is used. The banner remembers your answer in a cookie of its own, so it does not reappear on every page. That cookie is needed for the banner to work and is set regardless of your choice.

You can change or withdraw your answer at any time through the cookie settings link in the banner. Withdrawing consent stops the optional categories from being used on your next page view.

No optional tracking is installed on this site at present, so accepting or rejecting changes nothing beyond the stored choice. If a measurement or marketing tool is added later, it will be placed in its category and will only run after you accept it.

The tools keep their state in memory only. Reloading the page resets them, and nothing you type is saved to your device. No advertising cookies are used, no pixels are loaded, and no cross-site profiles of readers are built.

What reaches our servers

Like any website, the hosting infrastructure receives standard technical request data when a page is loaded: an IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and a timestamp. It is used to deliver the page and to detect abuse, and it is kept only as long as the server logs rotate.

The tools run in your browser

The Pomodoro timer, UTM builder, search ad preview, ad pacing calculator and percentage calculator do their work in your browser. What you type into them is not sent to us, not stored on a server and not saved in your browser. Closing the tab discards it.

Traffic measurement

Page views are counted by a cookie-free measurement script that is added by the hosting platform. It records the page path, the referring page and any campaign parameters in the address, and it stores nothing on your device.

The purpose is limited to aggregate statistics: which guides are read and roughly how visitors arrive. The data is not used to identify individual readers, to build profiles, or for advertising.

Because no information is stored on or read from your device, this counting does not depend on your consent. It rests on the legitimate interest in understanding which pages are useful, and the data volume is kept to what that purpose requires.

The analytics category in the banner exists for tools that do store something on your device. Nothing in that category is active today.

What we do not do

No accounts and no sign-up, so there is no reader profile to protect. No newsletter, so no email addresses are collected. No payments, so no card or billing details pass through this site. Reader data is never sold, rented or shared for advertising.

Legal basis

Cookie-free traffic measurement and server logs rest on the legitimate interest in keeping the site available, secure and useful (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). The cookie that stores your banner choice is strictly necessary and rests on the same interest in being able to honour that choice.

Anything optional would rest on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), recorded through the banner. No such tool is currently installed.

The legitimate interest is limited to aggregate counts and technical security. Where a request would identify a single reader, it is not made.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access to the data held about you, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. You can object to the traffic measurement at any time through the contact route below.

If you believe your data is handled incorrectly, you can complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).

Service providers

Three suppliers process data on our behalf: the hosting provider that serves the pages, the measurement service that counts page views, and the consent tool that stores your banner choice. All are bound to use the data only for the service they deliver, and none receives it for advertising.
