1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They may be used to maintain your session, remember your preferences, or collect usage data.

Some analytics services use cookieless measurement technologies instead of persistent cookies — identifying a device by combining signals such as IP address and browser information. These technologies do not contain personal data, but may still constitute data-processing activities that require consent under applicable privacy law.

2. Technologies Used on This Site

Vercel Inc. is the infrastructure provider on which the website is hosted; it may use technical session identifiers for load balancing and CDN management. These are treated as third-party infrastructure and serve a necessary technical function.

The contact form is submitted via Formspree. On form submission, Formspree may set technical cookies on its own domain (formspree.io); those cookies are outside our control.
