Cookie Declaration
Last updated: 2026-08-14
Overview
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage.
What We Store
Strictly Necessary
These are essential for the site to work and cannot be disabled. All three are local storage entries rather than cookies: they stay on your device, are never sent to our servers, and have no expiry date — they persist until you clear your browser's site data.
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
theme | Stores your light/dark mode preference | Until you clear site data |
lang | Stores your language preference | Until you clear site data |
consent-analytics | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | Until you clear site data |
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website. These cookies collect anonymized, aggregate data and do not track individuals across websites. They are set only where consent is not required, or after you have given it.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* | Maintains session state | 2 years |
IP addresses are anonymized before storage. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or remarketing.
Third-Party
We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or social media tracking pixels. No data is shared with ad networks.
How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are set and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies from all sites
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser
Clearing site data also removes the local storage entries listed above, so your theme, language and analytics choice will be forgotten and you will be asked again.
Browser Privacy Signals
We honor the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal and Global Privacy Control (GPC). When either is enabled we treat it as your answer: the analytics script is never loaded, no request is made to it, no analytics cookies are set, and you will not be asked for consent.
Withdrawing Consent
Where we ask for consent before setting analytics cookies, you can change your answer at any time using the "Cookie settings" control in the site footer. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics collection immediately.
Updates
We may update this declaration as our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
