Cookie Policy
_Last updated: May 20, 2026._
This page lists the cookies and similar storage we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It pairs with the consent banner you see the first time you visit, where you can accept all, reject all, or manage individual categories.
What's a cookie?
A small piece of data a site stores in your browser to remember something between page loads — a session, a preference, a consent choice. Some are set by us; some by the services we use (e.g., PostHog for analytics). All can be cleared from your browser settings.
The categories we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to work — they remember your consent choice and basic preferences. We never gate these behind consent because without them, the site can't function. They contain no tracking data.
| Name | Purpose | Storage | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cc_cookie | Stores your consent decision for this site. | First-party cookie | 6 months |
Analytics _(optional — opt-in or opt-out via the banner)_
Anonymous usage statistics that help us understand which pages people read and what's broken. We use PostHog with IP-address anonymization and no cross-site identifiers. Analytics cookies only load after you accept the analytics category in the banner.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
ph_* | PostHog | Anonymous page-view and event analytics. | Up to 12 months |
