This Cookie Statement explains how cookies are used on this website and what that means for your experience. My intention is to keep things simple, transparent, and respectful of your privacy. I only use the cookies that are necessary for the site to function smoothly, and I avoid tracking wherever possible.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies help a site function properly, while others track behaviour or support marketing. On this website, I use only the essential kind.

Cookies Used on This Website

This website uses functional cookies only. These cookies:

  • Help the site load correctly
  • Support basic security
  • Ensure forms and navigation work as intended

These cookies do not track your behaviour, build profiles, or follow you across other websites.

I do not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or analytics tools that identify individual visitors.

No Tracking or Marketing Cookies

Your visit is not monitored for marketing purposes.

Your behaviour is not tracked across pages or platforms.

Your data is not shared with advertisers.

This is a conscious choice to keep your experience here calm, respectful, and free from unnecessary data collection.

Contact Forms and Spam Protection

When you submit a form, the information you provide is used only to respond to your message. To keep the site safe, I use Akismet to filter out spam. Akismet may process technical details such as your IP address or browser information to determine whether a submission is legitimate. This does not involve placing cookies on your device.

Embedded Content

Some pages may include embedded content (such as videos or social media posts). These external platforms may use their own cookies according to their own policies. I only embed content when it adds meaningful value.

Changing or Removing Cookies

Because this website uses only essential cookies, there is no need for a cookie banner or consent pop‑up. If you wish to manage or delete cookies in general, you can do so through your browser settings.

Updates to This Statement

This Cookie Statement may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in the website or legal requirements. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
