The principle

NoBill uses no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party analytics. We only store on your device what is strictly necessary for a feature you use (Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG, art. 82 Loi Informatique et Libertés). That's why we don't show a cookie banner.

Our usage statistics are our own, cookieless, and store or read nothing on your device – see section 3 of the privacy policy.

Offline storage of the app

If you use NoBill as an installed app (or in a browser that supports it), a service worker keeps copies on your device so that NoBill opens quickly and works offline:

  • nobil-precache and nobil-static: the offline page, icons, scripts, styles and images of NoBill itself;
  • nobil-pages: up to 30 recently viewed pages – never sign-in, cancellation or pages opened from links with tokens; deleted when you sign out;
  • nobil-meta: your language and the random ID, so that push notifications keep working when the browser renews the push address.

We use no IndexedDB and no other storage. You can delete everything with "Sign out" or "Delete data on this device" in your account, or in your browser's site settings.

Advertising pixels

We currently use no advertising pixels (e.g. Meta, TikTok or Google Ads). If that changes, we will ask for your consent through a consent banner first and update this page.
