Cookies

This website does not set cookies. There is no analytics tracking, no advertising, and nothing that follows you around the internet afterwards.

The site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests those font files from Google when a page opens. If we ever add a service that uses cookies, we will update this notice and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
