What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. They are commonly used to remember preferences across visits, to keep you signed in to a service, or to count how many people have visited a page.
Essential cookies (always on)
The website sets a single piece of essential local-storage data, called lcc-cookies-dismissed-v1. It records that you have dismissed our cookie banner so we do not show it again. It is not transmitted to any server and contains no personal data. Retention: until you clear your browser storage.
Analytics cookies (with consent)
We may use a single privacy-respecting analytics cookie, set only after you have given consent through the cookie banner, to give us a count of the pages people read on the website. It does not track you across other websites; it does not record any personal information beyond a truncated IP address. Retention: 14 months.
Marketing cookies
We do not use any marketing cookies. We do not run advertising of any kind, and we do not place tracking pixels from advertising platforms on the site.
Third-party services
The website uses two third-party services whose use may set cookies under your browser’s own rules:
- Google Fonts, which delivers our typefaces (Cormorant Garamond, Inter, JetBrains Mono). Google may set cookies via its CDN.
- Cloudflare, which delivers the Font Awesome icon set used on the site, and any other CDN-served static asset.
We do not embed video, social-media share widgets, or third-party comment systems on the site, so no cookies are set from those sources.
How to manage cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you view and delete cookies. Look for the ‘privacy’ or ‘site data’ section of the settings. You can also browse the site in private / incognito mode if you would prefer not to keep any cookies between visits.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if we ever add a new cookie. The date at the top shows the last revision.
