What cookies are

Cookies are small text entries that a website asks your browser to keep. Some websites use them to follow you from page to page; ours uses its entries only to remember two answers you have already given, so that you are not asked again on every page. They do not identify you, and they are never sold or shared.

Analytics and tags

No analytics or advertising tag is loaded on this website today. A tag may be added later. If it is, it stays switched off until you agree in the cookie notice, and we will describe it on this page before it goes live.

Managing your consent

The cookie notice appears the first time you visit. Pressing its button saves your answer in your browser. To change your mind, clear this site's data in your browser settings and the notice will return on your next visit.

The kinds we use

There are two kinds. The first is practical: it remembers your answers. The second comes from outside, because the Google map on the contact page loads as soon as the page opens and may set cookies of its own. We have no control over those.

What is stored

  • a1861c9b9: saved in your browser's local storage when you confirm that you are 18 or over. It holds a simple yes and does not expire; you can delete it at any time.
  • cn_6560fa: saved when you press the button in the cookie notice. It records that you have seen the notice and chosen.
  • Google map: the embedded map on the contact page may store cookies belonging to Google, which describes them on its own website.

Consent is off by default

Until you press the button, all optional storage stays denied. Pressing it only gives permission to tags the website may load in the future, so today it changes nothing you can see. The setting we use, called consent mode, keeps analytics and advertising storage denied from the moment a page opens, and keeps it denied until the button is pressed.

If you use more than one device

The entries live in one browser on one device. If you visit from a phone and later from a laptop, each will ask once. Clearing your browser history will also clear them, and the notice will appear again.

Why we keep it simple

Every extra tag is another company in the room. We would rather have fewer of them, and we would rather you were not followed from this website to others. Your browser's help pages explain how to inspect and clear what is stored.

How long they last

The two entries above stay in your browser until you clear them. Google's cookies follow Google's schedule, which we cannot change.
