Cookie policy

The short version: this website doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies, so there’s no cookie banner to click through. This page explains the little it does use. For how we handle your personal information more generally, see our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website can save on your phone or computer. Websites can also keep information in your browser in similar ways, such as “session storage”. The same rules apply to both, so this policy covers them together.

What this website uses

No cookies of its own. Browsing the site, looking at the galleries and sending the contact form don’t set any cookies.
Visitor statistics without cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages are popular. It doesn’t use cookies, doesn’t follow you to other websites and doesn’t identify you.
A security check, only if needed. The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Very occasionally, if unusual traffic makes it necessary to check a visitor is a real person, Cloudflare may set a short-lived security cookie. It’s only used to protect the site, so it doesn’t need your consent.
A spam check on the contact form. The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell real people from spam bots. It runs a quick check in your browser, usually without you having to do anything. It doesn’t set cookies on this website, and the information it looks at about your browser is only used for that check, not for advertising or tracking.
Your first name, for a moment. When you send a message through the contact form, your first name is held in your browser’s session storage so the thank-you page can greet you. It’s deleted as soon as that page has loaded, and it’s never sent anywhere.

We never use cookies for advertising, and we don’t sell any information about your visit.

Links to Facebook and Instagram

The Facebook and Instagram links on this site are ordinary links, not embedded feeds or buttons, so they don’t set any cookies here. If you follow one, that website’s own cookie policy applies.

Why there’s no cookie banner

You only have to be asked for permission for cookies that aren’t essential, such as advertising or tracking cookies. Because this site doesn’t use any, there’s nothing to ask you about.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Help pages for the most common browsers:

Blocking cookies won’t stop any part of this website from working.

Changes to this policy

If we start using anything new, we’ll update this page first. Last updated October 2026.
