What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device so the site can remember things about you between visits. “Similar technologies” means localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, and pixel trackers, which serve a comparable purpose.
What we use today
Google Analytics (GA4), only with your consent. We use it to understand how this website is used, for example which sections people read and which on-page actions they take, so we can improve it. On your first visit we ask, and we remember your answer in this browser’s local storage. If you decline, no analytics script is loaded at all and nothing is sent to Google.
IP addresses are anonymized and Google advertising signals are switched off. We do not use advertising pixels, cross-site ad tracking, session replay, or Meta Pixel, and we do not sell or share this data for advertising. To change your mind, use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, which reopens the consent choice.
Strictly necessary technologies
Our hosting provider may use short-lived technical cookies to route requests, balance load, or detect attacks. These are required for the site to function and do not track you across other sites. They are exempt from consent under both the EU ePrivacy Directive and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
What might change
If we add another analytics or marketing tool, we will list it here and update the effective date at the top of this page before it goes live, and ask for consent first if it requires cookies.
How to control cookies in your browser
Even though we don’t set cookies today, you can always manage what your browser stores. Major browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies on exit:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing for an opt-out signal such as Global Privacy Control to switch off. The consent banner (and the footer's "Cookie settings" link) is how you opt analytics in or out on this site.
