Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 13, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. Browsers also provide local storage, which can remember information on one device without sending it to the website on every request.

2. How We Use Cookies

The current site does not use advertising cookies or third-party behavioral tracking. It uses browser local storage for these site features:

  • Article comments: Comments that you enter are saved locally in your browser and are visible only on that device.
  • Hosting and security: Our hosting provider may process request data needed to deliver and protect the site.

3. External Services

We use the following external services:

  • Vercel Web Analytics: Uses anonymized, aggregated data and does not use cookies to identify visitors.
  • Vercel Speed Insights: Reports anonymous performance measurements without identifying individual visitors.
  • Formspree: Receives data only when you choose to submit the contact form. Formspree's own site and service are governed by its policies.

These parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Your Choices

You can control or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Clearing this site's local storage removes comments saved on that browser.

5. Cookie Duration

Local comments remain until you delete them through your browser's site-data controls. Hosting and service providers apply their own retention periods to operational data.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

7. Contact
