Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and remember information about your visit. They are widely used to make websites function more effectively and to provide analytics and personalisation.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies only when strictly necessary for the technical functioning of our website. We use the absolute minimum number of cookies and only serve essential purposes. We do NOT use cookies for advertising, tracking, analytics, or personalisation.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Here is a complete list of cookies we use:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id (if applicable) | Technical / Security | Session | Strictly Necessary |
That's it. We do not set any other cookies. We do not use:
- Performance / Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Hotjar)
- Marketing / Targeting cookies (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Ads)
- Social media cookies
- Preference / Functional cookies (beyond what's strictly necessary)
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website loads resources from third-party services which may set their own cookies:
- Google Fonts: When we load fonts from fonts.googleapis.com, Google may set cookies or log your IP address according to Google's Privacy Policy. You cannot prevent this request without blocking Google Fonts entirely in your browser settings.
- Cloudflare CDN: The QR code library is served from cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Cloudflare may log requests according to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
We do not control these third-party services or their cookie practices. If you wish to avoid third-party cookies from Google Fonts or Cloudflare, you can use a privacy-focused browser extension to block these requests, though this may affect website functionality.
5. Why We Don't Show a Cookie Consent Banner
A cookie banner is only legally required if a website uses:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising or tracking cookies
- Any cookies beyond strictly necessary ones
Because we do not use any of these, we do not display a cookie banner. However, you are always free to manage cookies in your browser settings (see below).
