8. Cookies, Local Storage & Browser APIs

This website uses a minimal set of browser storage technologies. No tracking cookies are set directly by this website. However, Microsoft Clarity — a third-party analytics service — does set its own cookies to enable session recordings and heatmap analysis.

The only first-party browser storage used is strictly functional — specifically to remember your accessibility preferences if you use the accessibility panel (stored in a11y-settings). This item is only created when you deliberately interact with the accessibility panel and is never transmitted to any server.

The Share Profile button, when clicked, uses the browser's native Clipboard API to copy the page URL to your clipboard. This is a user-initiated, one-time action — no data is stored and no information is transmitted to any server.

For a full breakdown of every cookie and storage item — including those set by Microsoft Clarity — please refer to the Cookie Policy.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any significant changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
