Cookie Policy
Last updated: 25 July 2026
1. The short version
We set no cookies of our own. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels. We use two small entries in your browser's local storage to remember interface preferences, and they never leave your device.
One exception, and we would rather state it than let you find it: our Contact page embeds a Google Map. That embed is served by Google and can set Google's own cookies in your browser, outside our control. It is the only third party on this site that does. If you would prefer to avoid it, you can reach us using the phone, email and address details on that page without loading the map — see section 4.
2. What's the difference?
Cookies are small files that websites store in your browser and that are sent back to servers with every request — which is why they can be used to track you. Local storage also lives in your browser, but its contents are not transmitted to us or anyone else; the page simply reads them on your own device.
3. Local storage we use
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| td-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark appearance | Until you clear your browser data |
| td-privacy-notice | Remembers that you dismissed our privacy notice so it doesn't reappear on every visit | Until you clear your browser data |
Both are strictly functional. Clearing your browser's site data removes them; the site keeps working and simply falls back to defaults.
4. Third-party requests
Some resources are loaded from third parties, which means your browser makes a request to their servers (disclosing your IP address, as with any web request):
- Google Maps — the map embedded on our Contact page. This is the one third party here that can set its own cookies in your browser. It loads only on that page, and only Google can read what it sets.
- Google Fonts — serves the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces. Google's CSS API does not set cookies.
- Web3Forms — receives the enquiry form only when you press Send; see the Privacy Policy.
- WhatsApp — our chat button is a plain link; nothing loads from Meta unless you tap it, at which point you leave this site.
5. If this ever changes
If we introduce a service that sets cookies — analytics, embedded video, a chat widget — we will update this page, revise the date above, and where required ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is set.
