1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember information about your visit, and improve your overall experience. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — perform comparable roles and are covered by this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the website to function — security, network management, anti-abuse, basic accessibility features. Includes Cloudflare’s __cf_bm (bot-management) and cf_clearance (challenge passed) cookies set on our domain to protect against automated abuse. |
Session to 30 days |
| Preferences | Remembers your interface choices, such as the light/dark theme. Stored in your browser via localStorage rather than as a cookie — it stays on your device until you clear site data. |
Persistent |
| Performance & analytics | Aggregated, anonymized traffic data used to improve the site. Only set if and when an analytics provider is enabled; this category is currently inactive. | Up to 24 months |
We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
3. Third-Party Services
Some content and assets are delivered through Cloudflare, which provides CDN, security, and basic email-link obfuscation for our site. Cloudflare may set the following technical cookies on our domain:
__cf_bm— bot-management cookie used to distinguish humans from automated traffic. Lifetime: 30 minutes.cf_clearance— issued when a visitor successfully passes a security challenge. Lifetime: up to 30 days.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the security of the Website. See Cloudflare’s privacy notice at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
If we add an analytics, marketing, or CRM provider in the future (such as Google Analytics, Plausible, or HubSpot), this section will be updated with the corresponding cookies, durations, and any required consent banner.
4. Managing Cookies

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair website functionality.
5. Do Not Track
Our website respects the EU principle of data minimization. We do not currently use cookies that would be affected by browser “Do Not Track” signals, but we will honor them in any future analytics implementation.
