Cookie Policy

Two cookies, both for counting visits
That is the whole list. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, nothing that follows you anywhere else. This is what was actually observed in a browser on 10 September 2026 rather than a template.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells one browser apart from another so visits can be counted rather than guessed | 2 years |
_ga_980FTLGHDD | Google Analytics | Holds the session state for this particular site | 2 years |
Why there is no cookie banner
A banner would ask you to click something to protect you from two anonymous counters. Naming them here is more use than that. If you are visiting from the EU or UK, where consent rules are stricter, treat this page as the disclosure and use your browser to refuse them.
How to refuse them
- In your browser. Cookie settings let you block or clear cookies for one site: Chrome and Edge under Privacy and security, Safari under Privacy → Manage Website Data, Firefox under Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Everywhere at once. Google publishes an opt-out add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site you visit.
Blocking them changes nothing about how this site works. There is nothing here that needs a cookie to function.
One thing that is not a cookie
The typeface comes from Google Fonts, so loading a page makes a request to Google's servers. No cookie is set by it, but the request itself is visible to Google, which is worth knowing if you would rather it were not.
