Yes, it is possible to create a website on Webflow that does not use any cookies, even when not utilizing Facebook pixel or Google Analytics. Webflow allows you to build and design custom websites without relying on external integrations that use cookies for tracking and analytics purposes.

Here's how you can create a cookie-free website on Webflow:

Disable Webflow's built-in cookie consent: By default, Webflow includes a cookie consent banner that informs visitors about the use of cookies on the website. You can disable this banner by navigating to the "Project Settings" tab, selecting the "Hosting" section, and unchecking the "Show Cookie Consent Banner" option.
Avoid using third-party integrations that rely on cookies: Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics are popular tracking tools that use cookies to collect data. If you don't want to use cookies, make sure not to integrate these tools into your Webflow website.
Minimize the use of custom code: If you're adding custom code to your Webflow site, make sure it doesn't include any scripts or elements that rely on cookies for functionality. Be cautious when adding third-party widgets or tools, as they may use cookies by default.
Be mindful of third-party assets: When sourcing images, scripts, or other components from external sources, ensure that they don't rely on cookies. If third-party assets use cookies, consider finding alternatives or hosting them on your own server.
Audit your website for any unintentional cookie usage: It's important to review your website thoroughly to ensure that there are no unintended cookies being set or utilized. Check for any custom code, external embeds, or content that may inadvertently use cookies.

By following these steps, you can create a website on Webflow that doesn't rely on cookies for tracking or analytics, even when you're not utilizing Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics.
