What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device so it can remember something about you between page loads — for example, that you are signed in, or that your submitted form is the same one that just loaded the page. Cookies are sent back to the site that set them; they cannot read data from other sites.
What we use
This site sets no cookies. It is a fully static website served by nginx — there is no server-side session, no login area, and no forms that write to a database. No cookies are placed on your device during a normal visit.
What we do not use
- No advertising cookies.
- No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Matomo).
- No cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting, no session replay.
- No social-media “like” or “share” widgets that would set third-party cookies.
How to control cookies
As this site sets no cookies, there is nothing to block or clear from your browser. You can browse the portfolio freely without any tracking or session management.
You can clear or block cookies at any time from your browser's privacy settings:
- Safari — Settings → Privacy & Security → Manage Website Data.
- Chrome / Edge — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
Most browsers also offer a “private” or “incognito” window, which discards cookies as soon as you close it.
Changes
If we ever add a cookie that is not strictly necessary — for example to measure traffic — we will update this page, change the effective date and ask for your consent before setting it. The current version was effective from April 2026.
