Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the Site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and browsing history.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period).

2. How I Use Cookies

Currently, the Site uses minimal cookies. Specifically:

• Theme Preference: A small piece of data (not a cookie, but localStorage) to remember your light/dark mode preference.
• No Analytics: I do not currently use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics). If this changes, I will update this policy and request your consent where required.

Future Use

If I add analytics or performance tracking in the future (e.g., PostHog, Plausible), I will:

• Update this Cookie Policy with details
• Request your consent via a cookie banner (for EEA/UK users)
• Allow you to opt-out

3. Types of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled. Example: Session management for forms.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your settings (e.g., theme preference). They improve your experience but are not essential.

Analytics and Performance Cookies (Not Currently Used)

These cookies collect information about how you use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). They help me improve the Site. I do not currently use these, but if I do, I will request consent.

Marketing Cookies (Not Used)

I do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services used on the Site may set their own cookies:

• Admin CMS: The content management system may set session cookies when I manage content (not visible to you as a visitor).
• External Embeds: If I embed content from third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube videos), those platforms may set their own cookies. I do not control these cookies.
