BROWSER STORAGE
Cookies Policy.
A short and genuinely complete list of everything this site stores in your browser — because a vague cookie notice helps nobody.
01 What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store, so that the site can recognise something on your next visit. Related technologies — localStorage and sessionStorage — do a similar job with a different mechanism. For simplicity this policy calls all of them "cookies", and treats them under the same rules.
Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party") or by another domain whose content is embedded in the page ("third-party"). They can last only until you close the tab ("session") or persist for a defined period ("persistent").
02 What this site uses
This is the complete list. There is no analytics suite, no advertising pixel, no social media tracker and no session recording on this website.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
qix-cookie-choice |
localStorage (first-party) | Remembers whether you chose "Allow all" or "Essential only", so the banner does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear site data | Strictly necessary |
| Google Fonts cache | HTTP cache (third-party) | Font files are requested from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com and cached by your browser so pages render quickly. |
Per browser cache policy | Functional |
The cookie choice is stored in your browser, not on our server. We cannot read it remotely, and clearing your browser data removes it entirely.
03 Categories explained
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function or to honour a choice you made. These do not require consent, because switching them off would break the thing you asked for.
- Functional — improve the experience, such as loading web fonts, but are not essential to core functionality.
- Analytics — measure how the site is used. Currently none are in use. If we add any, they will be listed here and will only load after you consent.
- Marketing — track people across sites to target advertising. We do not use these and have no plans to.
04 Third-party requests
Loading a font from Google's servers means your browser makes a request to a Google domain, and that request necessarily reveals your IP address and browser information to Google. No cookie is set by Google Fonts for this purpose, but the request itself is a transfer of data and we would rather say so than hide it.
If you would prefer no third-party requests at all, the fonts can be self-hosted from our own domain instead. Ask us and we will do it.
05 Managing preferences
The banner shown on your first visit lets you choose between allowing all storage and allowing only what is strictly necessary. Your choice is remembered until you clear your browser data.
To change your mind, clear this site's storage in your browser (see section 6) and the banner will appear again on your next visit.
06 Browser controls
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies and site storage:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all storage will not break this website — you will simply be asked about cookies again on each visit, because the answer cannot be remembered.
07 Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" signal. Since this site performs no cross-site tracking of any kind, there is nothing for that signal to switch off. If we ever introduce analytics, we will honour these signals as an opt-out.
08 Changes
If the storage this site uses changes, this page and the table in section 2 are updated at the same time, and the version number above changes with it. We do not consider a cookie table optional documentation.
