Cookies
Short version: we don't use them to track you. No ad pixels, no profiling, nothing following you around the web. Here's the long version - and the switch to turn off the one exception.
We don’t track you. No Google Analytics, no ad pixels, no consent banner - there’s nothing to consent to. We don’t set cookies.
For traffic numbers we use Cloudflare Web Analytics and Umami - both count page views without cookies, without local storage, and without identifying you by IP or device. Our server also keeps a standard access log (IP, time, browser) that we don’t tie to you.
Our contact and newsletter forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell real people from spam bots. It’s cookieless too, and it only loads once you start filling in a form - nothing reaches Cloudflare before that, and it never tracks you across sites. That’s it.
The one exception: YouTube
Some articles embed a video. We don’t load YouTube’s player up front - you get a still image with a play button, and nothing loads from YouTube until you click.
Click play and you load YouTube, so Google can set its cookies - the same ones you’d get watching a video anywhere else. That’s your choice, video by video. Click once and you’ve allowed YouTube embeds; undo it below.
Clearing cookies YouTube already set
We can stop loading YouTube and forget that you said yes. We can’t delete Google’s cookies - no site can delete another company’s cookies from your browser. To remove those, clear them in your browser settings (look for “cookies and site data”) or use private mode.
Here’s where things stand, and the switch to turn it off:
Nothing is stored right now. You haven't loaded any YouTube videos, so no third-party cookies are in play.
