Cookie notice

The short version

This site sets no cookies. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how the site is performing, and the enquiry form sends your message to Web3Forms when you press send. Nothing else watches you read this. That is why you have not been shown a cookie banner: nothing here stores anything on your device, so there is nothing to ask your permission for.

Why there is no banner

UK law requires consent before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary for the service you asked for. Since nothing is stored at all, there is nothing to consent to. Sites that show you a banner usually do so because they are doing something that needs permission.

What does happen when you visit

The pages, fonts and images are served from Cloudflare, which hosts this site. Like any web server, Cloudflare sees the technical details of the request, such as your IP address, your browser type and which page you asked for, and uses them to deliver the page and to block attacks. That is server-side logging, not a cookie, and it happens on every website you visit whether or not it has a banner.

The typefaces on this site are served from this domain rather than from Google Fonts, so loading a page here does not tell Google that you visited.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

A script from Cloudflare records which page you looked at, the page that sent you here, the type of browser and device you are using, your country, and how quickly the page loaded, nothing more precise than that. It sets no cookies and uses no local storage, so it cannot follow you between visits or between sites, and Cloudflare does not use it to track you individually or build a profile of you across the websites that carry it.

The enquiry form

When you press send on the enquiry form, what you typed is posted to Web3Forms, a form-delivery service that passes the message on to my inbox. That request happens only when you submit the form. The form sends nothing while you are reading or typing.

Web3Forms receives your name, your email address, your phone number if you gave one, what you said you needed help with, and your notes. It does not set a cookie in your browser and it is not used to profile you. The retention and rights that apply to that message are set out in the privacy policy.

The form also records how long the page was open before you submitted, purely to reject automated submissions, and that measurement is thrown away with the page.
