Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 22, 2026  ·  Effective: March 19, 2026

Minimal, privacy-first approach

This website uses a minimal set of browser storage technologies. The only first-party storage is strictly functional (accessibility preferences). However, this site integrates Microsoft Clarity, a third-party analytics service that sets its own cookies for session recordings and heatmap analysis. Full details are provided in the sections below. No advertising cookies or profiling technologies are used.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly or more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.

This website uses browser localStorage rather than traditional HTTP cookies. localStorage is a similar technology that stores key-value pairs in your browser, is never sent to any server, and is only accessible by this site.

2. What Storage This Site Uses

The table below lists every item stored in your browser by this website, including cookies set by Microsoft Clarity. There are no hidden or undisclosed tracking mechanisms.

KeyTypePurposeDuration
a11y-settingsFirst-party (localStorage)Stores your accessibility preferences (font size, high contrast, reduced motion, etc.) if the accessibility panel is used.Persistent — until cleared by you
_clckThird-party cookie (Microsoft Clarity)Persists the Clarity User ID and preferences, unique to the site. Enables session stitching across pages.1 year
_clskThird-party cookie (Microsoft Clarity)Connects multiple page views by a user into a single Clarity session recording.1 day
CLIDThird-party cookie (Microsoft Clarity)Identifies the first time Clarity saw this user on any site using Clarity.1 year
MUIDThird-party cookie (Microsoft)Microsoft-wide user identifier used across Microsoft domains, including Clarity.1 year
SRM_BThird-party cookie (Microsoft)Used by Microsoft Clarity to record unique visitors.1 year

a11y-settings is strictly optional — only created if you actively use the accessibility panel. It is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to any server.

Microsoft Clarity cookies (_clck, _clsk, CLID, MUID, SRM_B) are set automatically when you visit this site. They enable session recordings and heatmap analysis to help improve website usability. No personally identifying information is collected.

3. What This Site Does NOT Use

Advertising cookies

No ad networks, remarketing, or behavioural targeting

Social media tracking pixels

No Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar

Fingerprinting or profiling

No device fingerprinting or user profiling of any kind

Session cookies from this site

No server-side session management or HTTP Set-Cookie headers from this domain

Clipboard data collection

5. Your Consent & Control

This website does not display a cookie consent banner for the first-party a11y-settings item, as it is strictly necessary for a user-initiated feature and requires no prior consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

Microsoft Clarity is a third-party analytics service. If you wish to opt out of Clarity session recordings, you can do so via the Microsoft Privacy opt-out page or by blocking the Clarity script through your browser's developer tools or a content blocker.

You remain in full control of all browser storage at all times — you can clear it at any point via your browser settings (see Section 6).

6. How to Manage or Delete Storage

You can clear all browser storage set by this site at any time through your browser settings:

Chrome / Edge — Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies and other site data
Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove

Clearing site data will reset any saved accessibility preferences. This has no effect on your ability to use the website.

7. Legal Basis — GDPR & ePrivacy

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR:

a11y-settings (localStorage)

Strictly necessary for a user-initiated feature — no consent required (Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive)

Microsoft Clarity cookies (_clck, _clsk, CLID, MUID, SRM_B)
