Cookie Policy
Last updated 27 March 2026
The short version
We use as few cookies as possible.
- Our primary analytics tool (Cloudflare Web Analytics) does not use cookies at all.
- PostHog, our event based analytics tool, may set a cookie to distinguish returning visitors. This cookie does not identify you personally.
- The only other cookies you may receive are strictly necessary ones from Cloudflare for security and spam protection.
- We do not use advertising or social media tracking cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They are used for many purposes. Some are essential (like keeping you logged into a website), some are analytical (measuring site usage) and some are advertising related (tracking you across websites for targeted ads).
What cookies does this website use?
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not store personally identifiable information.

| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge verification; confirms a user has passed a Cloudflare security challenge | 1 year |
Analytics cookies
Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not store data in localStorage or sessionStorage and does not fingerprint individual users. It collects anonymised, aggregated performance metrics via the browser's Performance API. No personal data is involved.
PostHog may set a cookie on your device to track your session across page loads and to distinguish returning visitors. This allows us to understand usage patterns without identifying you personally. PostHog data is stored in the European Union. The PostHog cookie is classified as an analytics cookie, not strictly necessary, but it does not contain personally identifiable information.
