Cookies
A cookie banner asks for your choice on your first visit. Optional cookies stay off until you allow them, and you can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.
- Strictly necessary: one cookie (
cc_cookie) that remembers your choice for six months. Always on. - Analytics: Google Analytics 4 cookies, set only if you allow analytics.
- Marketing: Meta Pixel cookies, set only if you allow marketing.
The site uses Google Consent Mode v2. If you decline analytics, Google Analytics may still receive cookieless pings without identifiers, which Google uses to model aggregate traffic. If you decline marketing, the Meta Pixel does not load.
Vercel Analytics does not use cookies.
Third-party services
I use the following third-party services that may process your data under their own privacy policies:
- Formspree: contact form, checklist download, and GDPR website check request processing
- Google: analytics (GA4) and tag management (GTM)
- Vercel: website hosting, analytics, and speed insights
- Sanity: content management (articles)
- Meta: ad measurement (Meta Pixel), only with your consent to marketing cookies
I do not sell or rent your personal data. Apart from the Meta Pixel described above, which only runs if you allow marketing cookies, I do not share it with any third party for marketing purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Data security
This site is served over HTTPS at all times. Form submissions — including the contact form, checklist download, and GDPR website check request — are transmitted securely to Formspree. I do not store this data on my own servers. I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data to me, please contact me so I can delete it.
