Cookies note

The short version

This blog uses one strictly necessary session cookie, set automatically by the web server on certain requests to manage state. It does not identify you personally, is not shared with anyone, and expires when your browser is closed (or shortly after).

The slightly longer version

  • Strictly necessary. A small session cookie used by the server to preserve state (for example, to keep values in the contact form if you re-submit it). Standard for PHP-based blogs.
  • No advertising cookies. No Google Ads cookie, no Facebook pixel, no LinkedIn insight tag, no third-party remarketing. None of those services are loaded on this site.
  • No analytics cookies. No Google Analytics or equivalent. Basic aggregate traffic is looked at from server logs.
  • No cross-site tracking. Nothing here talks to any advertising or analytics network.

Because the only cookie in use is strictly necessary for the blog to work, no consent banner is required under the Canadian or European rules we’re familiar with. You can block cookies entirely in your browser; the blog will still work.
