Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies this website actually uses. It has been written to match the real setup of this website — we have not used analytics, advertising or tracking cookies of any kind.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. "Similar technologies" includes things like local storage and server logs. Cookies that are essential for a website to work are exempt from the consent rules; cookies used for analytics, advertising or tracking are not, and require your consent before they are set.

Cookies and technologies this website uses

Strictly necessary website platform cookies (first-party)

This website is hosted on the Base44 platform. The platform sets a small number of session and security cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to load and function correctly and to keep it secure. These are first-party cookies, remain active only for your browsing session, and do not track you for analytics, advertising or any other purpose.

Server logs (hosting provider)

Our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information — such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested — in server logs, in order to deliver the website and protect it from misuse. This is a standard part of hosting a website rather than a tracking technology.

Third-party content

Some content on this website is loaded from third-party services, which process your request data under their own privacy policies:

• Google Fonts — the fonts used across the site are loaded from Google's servers when a page loads. Google receives your IP address as part of that request. Google Fonts does not set advertising or analytics cookies on this website.
• OpenStreetMap — the map embedded on our home page is served by openstreetmap.org. The map may set a small number of cookies relating to map functionality. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation's privacy policy for details.

What this website does NOT use

This website does not use Google Analytics or any other analytics tools, advertising or remarketing cookies, social media pixels (such as the Meta Pixel), tracking pixels, embedded social media plugins, or any email marketing or newsletter sign-up tools.

Why there is no cookie banner

Because the only cookies used are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are exempt from the consent requirement under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and we do not ask for consent we do not need. If we ever add non-essential cookies — for example analytics — we will add a genuine consent mechanism that lets you accept or reject them on equal terms, and update this page.

Controlling cookies on your device

You can view, delete and block cookies through your browser settings. Because the cookies we use are essential to the site, blocking or deleting them may stop parts of the website from working properly.
