Cookies
Essential cookies make the site work. Analytics loads only if you accept, and we don’t use advertising cookies.
Plain-language summary; not legal advice. Last updated October 31, 2026.
Your choice
Without JavaScript nothing optional loads, so there’s nothing to choose.
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we treat it as Reject automatically. You can still turn analytics on yourself here.
What each kind does
- Essential. Spam protection, the forms, booking a call, Ask E-3 and remembering your cookie choice. These make the site work, so they are always on.
- Analytics. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity show us, in aggregate, which pages help and where people get stuck. Clarity hides everything you type and any contact details. Off unless you turn it on.
- Marketing. Nothing uses this today. We don’t run ads or ad tracking. If that ever changes, we’ll list it here and ask you first.

Changing your mind
Use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. Turning analytics off stops it straight away and clears its cookies from this site. We ask again after 12 months, or sooner if this list of kinds changes.
