Cookie Policy
Effective Date: April 27, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. They can be used to make a site work properly, remember your preferences, or track behavior across sites.
2. Cookies Used on This Site
This website is intentionally minimal in its use of cookies and tracking. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral tracking scripts, or social media pixels.
Strictly necessary cookies: The site may set minimal session cookies required for the contact form to function correctly via Netlify Forms. These cookies do not track you across other sites and expire shortly after your visit.
Analytics: We use Netlify Analytics, which operates server-side. Netlify Analytics does NOT place cookies or scripts on your device. It logs basic request information (page URLs, referrer, anonymized IP, country) on the hosting infrastructure, similar to standard web server logs.
What we do NOT use:
- Google Analytics or any client-side analytics scripts
- Facebook Pixel or other advertising trackers
- Behavioral retargeting cookies
- Cross-site tracking
3. Third-Party Services
If you click an external link on this site (for example, a WhatsApp link, a social media link, or a Google Maps embed if added later), the destination service may set its own cookies governed by its own policies.
4. Managing Cookies
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to do this through their settings menus. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of contact forms on this site.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we add new tools that use cookies in the future (such as Google Analytics or marketing pixels), we will update this Cookie Policy with a revised "Effective Date" and provide notice on the site.
