Cookies are small files a website saves on your device, often to remember you or to measure what you do. This site asks before it uses any, and works just the same if you say no.
Only if you press Accept
These tools show me which pages and adverts bring enquiries. None of them loads, and none of their cookies is set, until you accept.
- Google Analytics counts visits and the pages people read.
- Google Ads tells me whether an advert of mine led to an enquiry.
- The Reddit and OpenAI ad pixels do the same for adverts on those sites.
They set their own cookies, some of which last up to two years. Google, Reddit and OpenAI explain theirs in their own privacy notices. When you send me an enquiry, they're told that a form was sent from a page, never what you wrote in it.
Always, because the site needs it
- Your choice itself. Your browser keeps a note of Accept or Decline, so you aren't asked on every page. It's stored in your browser rather than in a cookie, and holds nothing about you.
- Visit counts without cookies. The company that hosts the site, Vercel, counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.
Fonts, images and code all come from this site itself, so nothing else is loaded from anyone else unless you accept.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time, and saying no is as easy as saying yes. If you switch from Accept to Decline, the page reloads so the tools stop straight away.
You can also clear this site's cookies and stored data in your browser's settings, and you'll be asked again on your next visit.
