Cookie Policy

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember preferences, and to understand how a site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage are covered by this policy too.

Cookies We Use

This website keeps things deliberately light. We use only the following:

  • Strictly necessary — a single preference item that remembers your cookie choice, so we don't ask you on every visit. This is stored locally in your browser and never used to track you.
  • Analytics — privacy-conscious, aggregated measurement of how the site is used. Analytics are only loaded after you accept cookies in the consent banner. If you choose "Essential only", no analytics run.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, social media pixels or fingerprinting on this site.

Third-Party Services

Two third-party services are involved in operating this site, neither of which is used for advertising:

  • Form delivery — messages you send through our forms are processed by Formspark and delivered to our inbox. Form submissions are covered in our Privacy Policy.
  • Web fonts — Google Fonts serves the typefaces used on this site. Requests to Google are made to load the fonts themselves.

Your Choices

The first time you visit, the consent banner lets you accept all cookies or continue with essential ones only. You can change your decision at any time:

  • Use the button to show the banner again.
  • Or clear your browser storage for this site — your preference is removed and the banner will reappear on your next visit.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. See the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.

Do Not Track

There is no industry-standard response to browser "Do Not Track" signals. Because our analytics only run with your explicit consent, choosing "Essential only" achieves the same outcome: no measurement, no tracking.

Changes to This Policy

If we add new services that set additional cookies or storage, we will update this policy and ask for your consent again where required. The "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.

We use essential storage to run this site and remember your choice. Analytics are privacy-conscious and load only with your consent — never ads or cross-site tracking. Cookie Policy.
