IBANValidationAPI operates without cookies. Our website and API service function entirely without the need for browser cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies. This means better privacy for you and no cookie consent banners to deal with.

IBANValidationAPI has been designed from the ground up to operate without cookies. Here's how we achieve full functionality without them:
Instead of session cookies, we use API keys sent in request headers for authentication. This is more secure and doesn't require browser storage.
We don't track user behavior across sessions or use analytics cookies. Our logging is limited to API usage for service optimization.

All IBAN validation happens on our servers, eliminating the need for client-side storage.
Given that we provide banking-related services, we want to emphasize our commitment to privacy:
