Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help sites remember things — like your preferences or whether you've visited before. I want to be upfront about exactly which ones this site uses and why.
2. What This Site Uses
Essential cookies
- Cookie consent preference — stored in your browser (localStorage) so I remember your choice and don't keep asking.
- Session management — basic data for the site to work properly.
Things that don't use cookies
A few things on this site collect anonymous data but don't use cookies at all:
- Fathom Analytics — privacy-focused site analytics. No cookies, no personal data, GDPR compliant without consent.
- Energy Quiz — responses are stored anonymously. No names, no emails, no cookies. Works the same way as Fathom.
- Content interactions — likes and preferences stored anonymously. No identifying information.
Advertising / Marketing
None. Zero. I don't use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or retargeting — that's genuinely not what this site is about.
Video embeds (coming soon)
When I add video content, YouTube embeds may set their own cookies. I'll use privacy-enhanced mode where possible and update this policy when that happens.
3. How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Here's how in the major ones:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly.
4. Third-Party Cookies
My hosting provider, Vercel, may set performance-related cookies as part of serving the site. These are functional, not tracking. Fonts are self-hosted — no requests go to Google or other font services.
