Cookie Policy
A short, honest account of the cookies this site uses. The summary is that we use very few, none of them are for advertising, and none of them track you across other websites.
Last updated:
1. The short version
This Site does not use advertising cookies, does not use cross-site tracking pixels, and does not sell or share any information with data brokers. The only cookies that may be set are strictly necessary ones placed by our security and delivery infrastructure, which are required for the Site to work safely.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and — on many sites, though not this one — to build advertising profiles. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels.
3. Cookies used on this Site
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Distinguishes human visitors from automated bots to protect the Site from abuse. Strictly necessary. | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Set only if you complete a security challenge; records that the challenge was passed. Strictly necessary. | Up to 1 year |
| _cfuvid | Cloudflare | Used by rate-limiting rules to distinguish individual visitors sharing an IP address. Strictly necessary. | Session |
Cloudflare may adjust the exact set of security cookies it uses. Cloudflare's own documentation describes each cookie it sets in detail.
4. Cookies we do not use
- Advertising cookies — we run no ad networks and no retargeting.
- Third-party social pixels — no Meta Pixel, no TikTok pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag.
- Cross-site behavioural tracking — nothing follows you off this Site.
- Fingerprinting for advertising — we do not profile devices for ad targeting.
Web fonts on this Site are self-hosted rather than loaded from a third-party font service, so visiting this Site does not disclose your IP address to a font provider.
5. Analytics
Where we measure traffic, we do so using aggregate, non-identifying request data from our infrastructure rather than cookie-based visitor tracking. If we later add a client-side analytics tool, we will update this policy before doing so and, where legally required, ask for your consent first.
6. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Because the cookies on this Site are strictly necessary for security, blocking them may cause the Site to challenge you repeatedly or fail to load.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that discards cookies at the end of the session, and support the Global Privacy Control signal, which we honour.
7. Consent
Because this Site sets only strictly necessary cookies, no consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive or the GDPR. Should that change, we will implement a proper consent mechanism that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies before any are set.
8. Changes
We will update this page if our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
9. Contact
Questions about cookies or tracking on this Site can be sent to [email protected]. More detail on data handling generally is in our Privacy Policy.
