Privacy & Transparency

Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and local storage this website uses, why, and how you can control them. We have designed this site to use the minimum possible data — no analytics tracking, no advertising cookies, no third-party scripts that place cookies on your device.

Last updated: March 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and — on many commercial websites — to track your behaviour across sites for advertising purposes.

This website takes a minimalist approach to data collection. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics. The information below details exactly what we do and do not store.

Cookies We Use

Session Storage — Navigation State Type: Functional / Essential

This website uses browser session storage — not persistent cookies — to remember the state of the mobile navigation menu (open or closed) during your visit. This allows the mobile hamburger menu to function correctly as you navigate between pages.

Storage type: Session storage (browser memory — not written to disk as a cookie file) Duration: Until you close the browser tab or window. Session storage is automatically cleared when your session ends — it does not persist between visits. Data stored: Navigation menu state only (a single true/false value). No personal data, no identifiers, no tracking information. Shared with: No one. This data never leaves your browser. Can be disabled: Yes — see instructions below. The site remains fully functional if session storage is disabled; only the mobile menu state memory is affected.

Cookies We Do Not Use

We explicitly confirm that this website does not use the following:

✓
No analytics cookies

We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, or any other analytics platform. We do not track page views, session duration, referral sources, or any other visitor behaviour.

✓
No advertising or retargeting cookies

We do not use Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising network. We do not place cookies that enable retargeting or cross-site tracking. We do not sell or share your browsing data with advertisers.

✓
No third-party tracking scripts

This site loads no third-party JavaScript that could place cookies on your device. All scripts are served from this domain. There are no embedded social media widgets, chat tools, or external embeds that would introduce third-party tracking.

✓
No persistent cookies

We do not write persistent cookie files to your device — files that remain after you close your browser. The single session storage entry we use is automatically cleared when your browsing session ends.

How to Disable Cookies and Session Storage

You can control cookies and session storage through your browser settings. Instructions for the most common browsers:

Google Chrome

Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or manage exceptions per site. To clear existing cookies and site data: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.

Mozilla Firefox

Go to Preferences (or Options on Windows) → Privacy & Security. Under "Enhanced Tracking Protection" you can choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. To clear cookies: same page, scroll to "Cookies and Site Data" → Clear Data.

Apple Safari

Go to Safari → Preferences → Privacy. You can block all cookies or manage them per site. To view and remove individual site cookies: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.

Microsoft Edge

Go to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. You can block all cookies or configure exceptions. Microsoft Edge also includes a built-in tracking prevention feature under Settings → Privacy, search, and services.

Disabling cookies entirely will not affect the content or readability of this website. The only functional impact is that the mobile navigation menu will not remember its state between page loads — a very minor inconvenience.

External Links

This site contains links to external websites (operator websites, IAATO, and others). When you click an external link, you leave this website and are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the destination site. We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the cookies placed by external sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

If we introduce any new use of cookies or tracking — for example, if we add analytics or introduce affiliate links — we will update this policy to reflect those changes before implementing them, and we will note the change prominently at the top of this page with the date of the update.

Questions about this policy? If you have questions about how we use cookies or handle data on this site, please contact us. We are happy to provide further clarification.
