See what the cookies do
Two notes in your browser, one embedded map and a consent switch that starts in the off position.
What a cookie is and where we start
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to keep, so the site can remember something between pages or visits. Other technologies, such as local storage, do a similar job. For simplicity, this page calls all of them cookies, and it lists every one this website uses.
Consent starts switched off. Until you press accept on the banner, the site tells browsers and any connected service that you have not agreed to advertising or analytics storage. If you ignore the banner, nothing changes. If you press accept, the choice is stored so the banner doesn't keep returning.
You can change your mind at any time. Clearing the site data in your browser brings the banner back, and you can then choose differently. Most browsers also let you block cookies from particular sites, though blocking the ones set by the map may stop it from loading properly.

Analytics and advertising tags
At present the house runs no advertising network and no analytics tool on this website. The consent placeholder exists so that, should that ever change, any tag we add would remain off until you agree. We would update this page before switching anything on.
The embedded map
The contact page shows a map from Google, and it loads as soon as the page opens, whether or not you have pressed accept on the banner. Google may set cookies when it does, and receives your usual browser information. If you'd rather avoid that, skip the page and use the address in the footer in your own map app.
The kinds we use
Every file listed in the table is either strictly functional or a record of a choice you made. There are no tracking cookies of our own, and nothing here follows you from one site to another.
How long they last
The two local-storage notes stay in your browser until you remove them, which you can do at any time in your browser's settings under site data. Removing them simply means the age question and the cookie banner will appear once more on your next visit.
The map is a different matter. Its cookies follow the schedule set by Google, which we do not control, and the details are in the privacy policy that Google publishes.
