The Honeybloom seal
No trackers. No ads. No analytics.
A site with this seal loads nothing from any other company. Here is what that means, how we check it, and what a check can’t see.
The standard, v1, 26 September 2026
What the seal means.
- Every file a page loads comes from the site’s own address. No outside scripts, fonts, images, frames or embeds.
- No analytics, ad or social-media code, and no tracking pixels.
- The pages set no cookies. On-device settings, like your butterfly or hummingbird choice, stay in your browser and go nowhere.
- A strict security policy tells your browser to block anything from another company, even if someone adds it by mistake.
- Links you choose to click, like a payment page, are yours to follow. The seal covers what the page loads on its own.
Most sites aren’t like this: about three in four pages include trackers.
How we check
Checked by machines, dated in public.
- Every build is scanned before it ships. If the scan fails, the site ships without the seal.
- After each release, a real browser visits every page of the live site and records every request and cookie. The date on the seal is the date of the last passing live check.
- A small script on each page removes the seal on its own if the page ever loads from another company or sets a cookie. It never sends anything anywhere.
The limits
What a check can’t see.
- The ordinary request logs every web host keeps.
- Direct peer-to-peer connections (WebRTC), which browsers keep outside a site’s security policy. Our build scan looks for the code that opens them.
- The site owner’s email, and pages you choose to visit from the site.
- Anything the site’s own server collects in ways a browser can’t see. That’s why we only put the seal on sites we built and reviewed, and why every owner agrees to keep it true.
- A browser extension on your own computer can set off the on-page check, so the seal may hide for you alone. That’s the safe direction.
This is our own statement about sites we built, not an independent audit. If a site adds tracking, the seal comes off: our checks remove it on sites we maintain, and owners who host their own site agree to take it down.
Check for yourself
You don’t have to take our word.
- Open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, reload the page, and look at the domain of every request.
- Or run the site through Blacklight, a free tracker scanner from The Markup.
