Cookie policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise you on a later visit. They are useful for things like keeping you signed in — and they are also the main mechanism behind advertising and behavioural tracking across the web.

2. What this site uses

Nothing. There are no first-party cookies, no third-party cookies, no analytics scripts, no advertising pixels, no session storage and no fingerprinting. The site is plain HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript that only handles the menu, the FAQ accordion and a scroll animation. None of it stores anything on your device or reports anything back to us.

3. Third-party requests

The site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. To serve them, your browser makes a request to fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, which means Google receives your IP address and browser details as part of that request. Google states that it does not set cookies for font requests and does not use them for advertising profiling. No other third-party resource is loaded by this site.

4. Server logs

Our hosting provider keeps standard access logs — IP address, timestamp, requested page, browser user agent — for security, abuse prevention and capacity planning. These are ordinary server records rather than cookies, are not linked to any individual by us, and are kept only for a short retention period by the provider.

5. If this changes

If we ever add something that does set cookies — a booking tool, for example, or privacy- respecting analytics — we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before anything is stored.

6. Controlling cookies generally

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies for any site, usually under Settings → Privacy. Doing so will have no effect on this website, since it does not use them, but it is a sensible default elsewhere.
