What data is collected and why

Analytics — Plausible

This site uses Plausible Analytics to measure aggregate traffic. Plausible does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sessions, and does not store raw IP addresses. Your IP address is used transiently to compute an anonymised daily hash and is never persisted. No personal data leaves your browser in a form that identifies you as an individual.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — understanding which content is useful without collecting personal data.

Retention: Aggregated statistics only; no individual records are stored.

Contact form

When you submit the contact form on the Contact page, the following data is collected: your name, email address, optional phone number, and message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest / pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Retention: Contact records are kept for up to 12 months from submission, then permanently deleted.

Browser storage (not cookies)

This site stores two values in your browser that are not cookies and contain no personal data:

localStorage (theme): your light/dark mode preference. Persists until you clear browser storage.
sessionStorage (utm_params): UTM campaign parameters from the URL, used to attribute a single session to a marketing campaign. Cleared automatically when you close the tab.
