We use minimal, functional cookies only. No tracking. No advertising. No third-party analytics. The cookies we use are necessary for the site to work. That's it.
A movement about data ownership should use as little of your data as possible. We practice what we preach.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes — some essential for the site to function, others used for tracking and advertising. We only use the essential kind.
Session cookies
Authentication cookies (admin only)
To be explicit about what we refuse to use:
Stripe: When you make a purchase, Stripe may set cookies necessary to process your payment securely. These are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
Cloudflare: Our CDN provider may set a cookie for security purposes (bot detection, DDoS protection). This is a functional cookie, not a tracking cookie.
No other third parties set cookies on this site.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you disable all cookies, the site will still load but some functionality (like form submissions) may not work correctly.
Since we only use functional cookies, there is no cookie consent banner. We believe cookie banners have become a form of dark pattern — training people to click “accept all” without reading. Our approach is simpler: use so few cookies that a banner is unnecessary.
