Cookie Policy

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. This site also uses your browser's local storage in one place, which works similarly but isn't technically a cookie. We refer to both as "cookies" below for simplicity.
Cookies we use
We keep this deliberately minimal. Here's everything currently in use:
- Cookie consent choice — stored in your browser's local storage (not a cookie sent to a server) so we remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, and don't show the banner again on your next visit. Kept until you clear your browser data.
- Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) — only set if you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. These help us see, in aggregate, how many people visit the site, which pages they look at, and roughly where visitors are coming from. We use this to understand what's working and improve the site — we do not use it to identify individual visitors. Typically expire after [Google's default is 13 months for _ga cookies — confirm current default at the time of publishing].
We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies, and we don't sell data collected via cookies to any third party.
How to control cookies
When you first visit this site, you'll see a banner asking you to accept or reject analytics cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site (usually via your browser's site settings or privacy tools), which will bring the banner back on your next visit.
You can also block or delete cookies generally through your browser settings — search "[your browser name] cookie settings" for instructions specific to the browser you use. Blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function, though it won't stop this particular site from working, since we don't rely on cookies for core functionality.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies or tracking tools we use change, we'll update this page.
