Cookie Policy
Cookies and similar storage (including localStorage) let a website remember things between page loads. This page lists exactly what we use, and nothing optional runs before you approve it.
Host-level disclosure: our hosting provider (GoDaddy) inserts its own traffic and security cookies at the server level. Those are strictly necessary for hosting and security and are outside our control, so they may be set before you make a choice in the banner. Everything our site controls runs only with your consent.
Short version: we set one strictly necessary item to remember your cookie choice, plus anything required by the site itself. Analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you accept them, and you can change your mind any time with the Cookie settings link.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks how you want to proceed. You can accept all, reject everything optional, or choose per category. Your choice is stored for twelve months unless you clear it. Rejecting optional cookies does not limit any part of the site.
What we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ed_consent (cookie) | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not re-prompt on every page. | 12 months |
| ed_consent_v1 (localStorage) | Strictly necessary | Stores the detail of your choice — which categories you allowed and when. | Until you clear it |
| _tccl_visitor, _tccl_visit, _scc_session | Strictly necessary (set by our hosting provider, GoDaddy) | Traffic and visit analytics inserted by our web host at the server level for load balancing, bot detection and security. These are not set by our website code and cannot be blocked by our consent banner. No advertising use. | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics cookies | Analytics | Aggregate traffic measurement — which pages were visited, how visitors arrived. Not used for advertising. Only set after you accept Analytics. | Up to 14 months |
| Marketing cookies | Marketing | Measure our advertising and, where enabled, show our ads to people who visited. Only set after you accept Marketing. | Up to 13 months |
Third parties
Some items are set by services we use, not by us directly:
- Fonts: page typefaces may load from a third-party font service, which receives your IP address as part of serving the file.
- Email and analytics providers: our email service measures opens and clicks on messages we send, which is covered in our Privacy Policy.
- Payment processor: set only on checkout pages, required to process the payment securely.
Managing cookies yourself
Your browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary items may break forms and downloads. Useful controls:
- Chrome — Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings, Privacy
- Firefox — Settings, Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings, Cookies and site permissions
On mobile, the same controls live in the browser's settings, and your device settings may also offer a limit-ad-tracking switch.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honor Global Privacy Control signals where required by law. Because optional tracking only runs with your explicit consent, no additional opt-out is needed once you have rejected optional categories.
