Legal & policy
A short working account of the cookie files this site uses, why they are set, and how you can control them from your own browser. Kept in plain language on purpose — a cookie policy reads better as a receipt than as a contract.
Essential
Required to keep the site running — preferences and basic session state.
Analytics
Aggregated reading counts — which pages get opened and which stop earning their place.
Not used
No advertising or affiliate-tracking cookies run on this site.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember information between pages or between visits — a preference, a scroll position, a decision you already made.
Some of them are essential to make a site work. Others are used for measurement or, on some sites, for advertising. This site uses the first two categories and not the third.
Why this page exists
A visitor should be able to find out what a site stores on their device before they trust it with an invoice. That is what this page is for.
Required for the site to function. They may record your cookie preferences or maintain basic session state while you move between pages — the small mechanical bookkeeping that lets one page know what the last one was doing.
These cannot be switched off through the site itself, because the site will not work correctly without them. You can block them in your browser settings; some parts of the site may then behave unexpectedly.
Required
These help us understand which pages are read and how visitors arrive. The information is aggregated, and we use it to decide what to write more about and what to stop publishing — nothing more dramatic than that.
We do not use analytics to identify individuals, and we do not combine analytics data with contact form submissions. Analytics cookies are not essential, and you can decline them without affecting your ability to use the site.
Optional
Declining analytics
If you would rather not be counted, you can turn analytics off from the consent panel that appears on first visit, or through your browser's own cookie settings. Essential cookies keep working either way, so the site stays usable.
Some services we rely on — hosting and analytics providers, for example — may set their own cookies the moment a page loads. Those cookies are governed by the providers' own policies, not by this one, and we cannot read them directly.
When one of those providers changes how it uses cookies, we update this page so the list above stays accurate.
What we do not run
No third-party advertising networks are embedded on this site, and we do not operate affiliate tracking that sets cookies on your device.
That is a policy choice, not a technical limitation. It keeps the accounting reading on this site separate from advertising follow-up.
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its own settings. The three notes below are the ones that matter for this site.
Look under the privacy or security section of your browser settings. You will find a list of cookies already stored, a way to delete them, and a way to block them going forward.
Blocking all cookies may break parts of this site and plenty of others. Forms may not remember a half-filled field, and some preferences will not stick between visits.
If you want to be excluded from measurement without losing any function, you can usually turn analytics off from the consent panel or your browser without disabling essential cookies.
02
We update this policy whenever the cookies used on the site change. The version published here is the current one; there is no separate archive to reconcile.
If a material change affects how data is used, we will state it on this page rather than only in a version history note nobody reads.
