Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 15, 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use local storage, which works similarly. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, we need your freely given, informed consent before setting any cookies that are not strictly necessary.
2. Types of cookies we use
| Cookie / storage | Purpose | Consent | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consent record | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear | Not required (strictly necessary) | Until you clear browser data |
| Analytics opt-in | Records whether you accepted or declined analytics | Not required (strictly necessary) | Until you clear browser data |
| Analytics events | Counts page views, blog reads, and form submissions | Required (only set if you accept) | Session based |
We do not use advertising, marketing, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with advertisers.
3. Essential cookies
We store a single local record of your cookie choice so the consent banner does not reappear on every visit. This is strictly necessary for the site to function and does not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive.
4. Analytics cookies
When you click "Accept", we enable analytics to measure page views, blog post reads, and form submissions so we can understand what content is useful and improve the site. These events are only recorded after you give consent. If you click "Decline", no analytics cookies or events are loaded and the site continues to work normally.
5. Managing and withdrawing consent
You can change your mind at any time. Clearing your browser storage for this site will show the consent banner again, letting you accept or decline analytics. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was based on consent before you withdrew it.
