Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Analytics Is Cookieless

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. It is a privacy-focused service that does not use cookies or other client-side storage, does not fingerprint you, and does not track you across other websites. Because of this, our own analytics places no cookies on your device.

Third-Party Cookies

Although our analytics is cookieless, cookies may still be set by third-party services we link to or load. These come from those third parties under their own privacy policies, not from us:

You can instruct your browser to refuse or delete cookies through its settings. Because our analytics does not rely on cookies, blocking them will not affect our ability to serve you the Site.
