LIBRARY
Consent and reading data
A read link can measure, on consent, how a document was read. Each page here names the instrument that governs one piece of that behavior.
This page describes a class of document in general terms. It is not legal advice, it is not about your situation, and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
01
The posture, stated once
The read link serves the file, sets one opaque session cookie, records that it was opened, and keeps a truncated-IP abuse log for twenty-four hours. Nothing else happens before an affirmative, versioned, hashed consent decision.
Device fingerprinting and TLS fingerprinting are excluded from that design rather than switched off. A capability that exists behind a flag is a capability, and the point of these pages is to keep the shipped privacy posture reviewable in the open.

Everything in this section
Every published page beneath this one, grouped the way the library is organized. Each group states how many pages it holds, so the directory is a map rather than a teaser.

- Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, and what a read link may measure
Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive conditions the storing of information on, or the gaining of access to information already stored in, a person's terminal equipment on consent and names only two exemptions; the OctoDoc read link applies that rule to a four-item baseline.
- Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
OctoDoc's read link treats Sec-GPC: 1 as a declined telemetry answer, suppresses the consent interstitial, and does not read Do Not Track; this page explains the cited specifications behind that behavior.
- What the baseline reading log contains
The read link serves the file and stores exactly three records before consent: one opaque session cookie, one "opened" row, and a truncated-IP abuse counter deleted at 24 hours.
