Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in much the same way. This page lists everything this website, and the services built into it, may store in your browser.
The short version
- We set no cookies of our own.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, social media or tracking cookies.
- The only cookies set when a page loads are strictly necessary ones from our payment processor and security provider. They are needed to keep payments and forms safe and are not used to track you.
- YouTube and Dropbox videos load only when you press play.
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, we do not show a cookie consent banner. If that ever changes, we will ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie.
