Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and — in some cases — to provide reporting information to the site owner.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and web beacons. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies".
This website does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any form of user tracking. We do not collect behavioural data about your browsing and we do not share data with advertising networks.
Our use of cookies is minimal. The site functions as a single-page experience with no login system, no shopping cart, and no personalisation engine — all of which would typically require more extensive cookie use.
The cookies and similar mechanisms that do apply to your visit fall into two categories: strictly necessary technical functions and third-party resource loading.
| Name / Source | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session state Browser-native |
Essential | Maintains basic page session state in the browser. Set automatically by the browser — not by our server. | Session (cleared on browser close) |
| Google Fonts fonts.googleapis.com |
Third-party | Google may set cookies or cache font files when your browser requests the web fonts used on this site. We do not control this. | Up to 1 year (browser cache) |
| jsDelivr CDN cdn.jsdelivr.net |
Third-party | JavaScript library files (Three.js) are loaded from jsDelivr's CDN. CDN providers may set performance-related cookies. | Typically session or short-term |
| Cloudflare CDN cdnjs.cloudflare.com |
Third-party | JavaScript library files (GSAP) are loaded from Cloudflare's CDN. Cloudflare may set security and performance cookies. | Typically session or short-term |
| unpkg CDN unpkg.com |
Third-party | Geographic data (TopoJSON) used for the globe visualisation is served from unpkg. Standard CDN caching may apply. | Browser cache, typically days |
We do not use cookies from Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, HubSpot, Intercom, or any other marketing, CRM, or analytics platform.
The third-party services listed above (Google Fonts, jsDelivr, Cloudflare, unpkg) may set their own cookies over which we have no control. We encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies:
These third parties process data under their own terms. Our Privacy Policy covers only data we directly collect.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies at any time. Note that blocking certain cookies may affect the appearance or functionality of websites you visit.
You may also opt out of Google's use of cookies for Font serving by using the Google Fonts CSS API without cookie consent, or by self-hosting fonts. If you would prefer us to explore a self-hosted font arrangement, please contact us.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals your preference not to be tracked. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking or behavioural advertising, our site's behaviour is effectively the same whether or not DNT is enabled. We do not respond to DNT signals in any special way beyond our default practice of not tracking users.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features to the site or if third-party services change their practices. We will post updates here with a revised effective date.
If you have questions about our use of cookies or wish to exercise any rights relating to your data, please contact us:
