Cookieless services
These run on every page but don’t set cookies:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics: aggregated page views and performance.
- Ahrefs Web Analytics: aggregated visit statistics.
Third-party cookies you might meet
- YouTube. Videos load only when you press play, from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain. After that, YouTube may set its own cookies.
- Retailers. If you follow an affiliate link (for example to Amazon), the retailer may set cookies on its own site to record the referral.
- Kit and Web3Forms. Subscribing or sending a message takes you to their pages, where their own policies apply. They set no cookies on this site.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site works fully without them. You can also opt out of Google Analytics everywhere with Google’s opt-out add-on.
