Privacy
CableBin sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts, images or trackers. The small scripts that run the picker, calculator and search are served from this site and send nothing anywhere. Your searches and calculator inputs stay in your browser.
To work offline, the site keeps a copy of pages you've visited in your browser's cache (a service worker). You can clear it in your browser's site settings.
The server keeps a standard access log (time, address, page requested, referring page and browser string) to measure traffic and stop abuse. Logs are not shared or sold.
If this ever changes, for example if advertising or affiliate links are added, this page will say so before it happens.
Server logs
Like almost every website, the server keeps a log of requests: the time, the page requested, the referring page, the browser's user-agent string, and a shortened network address (the last part of the IP address is removed before anything is written, so the log cannot point to one connection). The log is used only to count visits and to stop abuse, is never shared or sold, and is deleted after 30 days. The legal basis under the GDPR is legitimate interest in running and securing the site.
The hosting proxy in front of this site (measured 2026-10-26): successful requests are not logged there. Requests that fail at the proxy are recorded with the visitor's IP address and browser user-agent, with cookies and authorization headers redacted, and are currently kept until the proxy is restarted. A retention limit for those records is under review.
