Cookies

Last updated 21 September 2026

This website still does not use cookies. Not one, in any part of it. What it does have, since 21 September 2026, is an optional analytics measurement that is off unless you turn it on.

What we checked

This is not a statement of intent. It was measured in the browser on 21 September 2026, against the site as it is built:

No cookies are set: document.cookie is empty.
Two things are written to local storage, both by your own action and both only in your browser: the language you picked (iso-lang) and this consent decision with its date (iso-consent). Neither is ever sent anywhere. Nothing is written to session storage or IndexedDB.
Until you accept, there are no third-party scripts of any kind and the site makes no request to any server but this one.
There are no advertising pixels and no session recording, whatever you choose.
Every file the page requests, including the typefaces, comes from this domain. The site makes no requests to any other company's servers.
There are no forms on the site, so nothing can be submitted.

The analytics, and what it is not

The site uses Plausible, which counts page views and where visitors arrived from. It sets no cookie, assigns you no identifier, and collects nothing personal. It cannot follow you to another site because there is nothing to follow.

It is off by default. Its script is not merely idle until you accept: it is not on the page at all. Loading a tracker first and asking afterwards is exactly what the law forbids, and the request to the other company's server has already happened by then whether or not the script measures anything. So the tag is created only after you press Accept, and a Reject removes it and reloads the page.

You can change your mind whenever you like: Cookie settings at the foot of the home page reopens the panel.

What still happens when you visit

One thing is unavoidable. To send you this page, the server that hosts it receives the ordinary data any web request carries: your IP address, which browser you use, and which page you asked for. That is how the page reaches you at all. It is not a cookie, we do not link it to you, and we do not use it to build a profile.

[PENDING: name of the hosting provider and its data-processing terms. This page will name the provider once the production host is final.]

If this ever changes

If the site ever needs cookies for a real feature, not for tracking, this page will say so before it happens, and it will name each one and what it is for.
