1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store and send back on the next request. It is how a site remembers anything at all between one page and the next. Cookies are not all equal: some are needed for a site to function, and some exist to follow you around the internet.
2. What this site sets
As of the date at the top of this page, this site sets strictly necessary cookies only. The complete list is:
- A session and authentication cookie set by WordPress, and only for people signed in to administer the site. If you never sign in, you never receive it.
- A short-lived security token that accompanies the request form, and exists to prove the submission came from this site rather than from somewhere else pretending to be it.
- A language preference cookie, set only if you change the language, so that the choice survives to the next page.
That is the whole list.
3. What this site does not set
- No analytics cookies. There is no Google Analytics or equivalent measurement tag on this site.
- No advertising, retargeting or conversion pixels.
- No social network trackers, and no embedded share buttons that set cookies on our behalf.
- No third-party fonts or scripts. Typefaces, stylesheets and scripts are served from this domain, so loading a page does not announce your visit to anyone else.
4. Why there is no consent banner
Consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary. This site sets none, so a banner would be asking you to agree to nothing — which trains people to click through banners that do matter.
If analytics or advertising technology is ever added to this site, a consent mechanism will be added before it is switched on, not after, and this page will be updated to describe it.
5. Browser storage
The site may use your browser’s local storage for interface state — whether the menu is open, which language you last read. That data stays in your browser, is never sent to our servers, and clearing your browsing data removes it.
6. Server logs
Separately from cookies, submitting the request form stores a one-way salted hash of your IP address so that the same source cannot submit the form indefinitely. We keep the hash, not the address. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs for security and diagnostics.
7. How to control cookies
Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies, per site or altogether, in its privacy or site settings. Because this site only sets strictly necessary cookies, blocking them will not remove any tracking — but it will stop the request form from submitting, since the security token travels in a cookie.
8. Changes to this notice
If the cookies used by this site change, this page changes with them and the date at the top is updated.
