Cookie policy
Cookies, and the few this site uses.
This site is static and deliberately light on cookies. It runs no advertising and no cross-site tracking.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work at all; others remember choices you have made or measure how a site is used.
What this site uses
- Strictly necessary: the host, Cloudflare, may set a short-lived cookie to deliver the pages and protect the site from abuse. These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics, with your consent: if you accept analytics on the cookie banner, Google Analytics (GA4), HubSpot, and Microsoft Clarity set cookies to measure how the site is used, such as pages viewed, the path you take through the site, approximate location, and device type. Microsoft Clarity also builds heatmaps and anonymized session replays of how pages are used (clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement), with text and form entries masked so what you type is not captured. None of these run advertising or cross-site ad tracking. Decline, and these cookies are not set.
- Newsletter: if you submit the newsletter form, your details are sent to HubSpot. How HubSpot handles what you submit is covered by its own privacy notice.

Third-party services
Where this site relies on a third party (Cloudflare for hosting, Google Analytics, HubSpot and Microsoft Clarity for analytics, HubSpot for the newsletter, and the scheduling tool used to book a call), that provider handles any data under its own policies.
