Cookie policy — the short,
honest version

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are essential — the site won't work without them. Others help the site remember preferences or tell the owner which pages get read. They're ordinary web plumbing, not spyware — though some sites do abuse them, which is why this page exists.

What we use

Essential cookies: the cookie-banner preference itself (so we don't ask you every visit) and security tokens for forms. Analytics cookies: we use analytics to see which pages people read, roughly where they visit from and what devices they use. This data is aggregated — it tells us '40 people read the pricing page on Tuesday', not who you are.

What we don't use

No advertising cookies, no remarketing pixels, no social-media trackers, no fingerprinting. Nothing that follows you around the internet. If that ever changes, this page gets updated first and the banner will ask again.

Your choices

The cookie banner on our homepage lets you accept or decline analytics cookies — declining doesn't break anything, the site works the same. You can also clear or block cookies anytime through your browser settings; the exact steps depend on your browser, but it's always in the privacy or history section.

Third-party embeds

The map on our contacts page is a Google Maps embed — Google may set its own cookies when you interact with it, governed by Google's privacy policy, not ours. We've minimised other third-party embeds for exactly this reason.
