What we store on your device, why, and how to change your mind.
This site sets a cookie only if you accept measurement. Otherwise it keeps a few items in your browser’s local storage, which the law treats the same way as cookies, and each is either needed for something you asked for, like sending the contact form, or a preference you set yourself.
Only measurement asks permission, and declining does not switch it off: it switches it to a mode that stores nothing on your device. See the privacy page for why that distinction exists.

| theme | Light or dark, remembered only if you choose one with the toggle. | Preference you set | Local storage | Until you clear this site’s data |
| app_consent | Your answer to the measurement question, so we do not ask again. | Strictly necessary | Local storage | Until you change your answer, or we change what we ask |
| ph_…_posthog | PostHog’s identifier: recognises a returning device so visits join up. Only set if you accept. | Measurement | Cookie and local storage | 12 months |
