What browsing this library involves today

Analytics. This site uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookieless service hosted in the EU. For each page view it receives the page URL (query strings other than campaign parameters are discarded on Plausible's side), the referrer, browser and operating system name and version, device type, and the country, region and city derived from your IP address. It also records interaction events: clicks on outbound links and file downloads (the clicked URL), use of the search box, scroll depth and time on page, and choices made in the requirements tools (country, sector, print, compare). Plausible does not store your IP address, sets no cookies, uses no local storage, and generates no persistent identifier: unique visitors are counted with a hash built from a daily salt that is rotated and deleted every 24 hours. We see only aggregate numbers. See Plausible's data policy.

Google Analytics, only with your consent. If you choose "Accept analytics cookies" in the cookie banner, this site also loads Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google. Google Analytics then sets two first-party cookies, _ga (used to distinguish browsers) and _ga_5KKDTN5T3C (used to keep session state); on this site both expire after 13 months. It records the pages you view and interactions such as scrolling, clicks on outbound links, file downloads, use of the site search and form submissions, together with the browser, device type and approximate location. For visitors in the EU, Switzerland and the UK, Google states that Google Analytics uses the IP address only to derive approximate location and does not log or store it. We keep Google Analytics event data for 14 months. Google signals and advertising features are switched off, and the data is not used for advertising. If you choose "Reject", or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded and nothing is sent to Google. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the foot of every page; your choice itself is stored in a cookie named cfx_consent for 12 months. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Functional storage. The requirements checklist on some tool pages remembers which items you ticked, in your own browser's local storage. The list of ticks is never sent to us or to anyone else.

Search runs against records already published on this site; the search URL is reported to Plausible as a page view, where the query string is discarded and never stored.

• No cookies unless you accept analytics cookies (Google Analytics, see above); the cookie that remembers your choice
• Cookieless, aggregate analytics (Plausible, see above)
• Optional Google Analytics, loaded only after you accept
• No advertising
• No account or sign-in
• Browsing stores no personal data; aggregate, cookieless analytics are processed by Plausible (see above). The one exception is an email address you choose to give us for a free kit (see below).

Email collection for free downloads

When you request a free kit, we collect your email address only, to send the download link. If you also tick the separate, optional box, we send occasional CertifideX updates too — the download never depends on it. We use double opt-in: nothing is sent to a list until you click the confirmation link. When you submit the form, your browser sends the address directly to MailerLite, so MailerLite also receives technical connection data such as your IP address; no cookies are set, and nothing is loaded from MailerLite until you submit. Emails are processed by MailerLite, our email service provider, and stored on their EU infrastructure; we do not share your address with anyone else. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to delete your address at ask@certifidex.com.

If that changes

This library is a commercial venture and may introduce advertising in the future. If it does, this policy is updated in place — the date at the top of this page moves — before any change takes effect, and any advertising shown to a visitor in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland runs only behind a certified consent-management platform, never before consent is given.

Your rights

Because this library does not store personal data from a visitor browsing it, there is ordinarily nothing held about you to access, correct or delete. If you believe otherwise — for example, because you emailed us — write to ask@certifidex.com and the request is handled directly by the publisher. If you gave us your email address for a free kit, you can unsubscribe with the link in any email, or ask ask@certifidex.com to access or delete it.
