Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 July 2026
This site keeps cookies to a minimum. Here's exactly what's used and why.
Cookies this site sets
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
PHP session cookie (e.g. PHPSESSID) |
Keeps the contact form secure — it holds the CSRF token that stops forged submissions, and briefly carries the one-time success/error message shown after you submit the form. | Strictly necessary | Session only — deleted automatically when you close your browser |
elfsight_viewed_recently |
Set automatically when the Google reviews widget on the homepage (provided by Elfsight) loads, to prevent inflated view counts on the widget. Not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. | Functional (third-party) | Set by Elfsight — see Elfsight's privacy policy for detail |
What this site doesn't use
No analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics), and no advertising or retargeting cookies. The only cookies in use are the strictly-necessary session cookie above and the one functional cookie set by the embedded Google reviews widget.
About the reviews widget's cookie
Unlike the strictly-necessary session cookie, elfsight_viewed_recently is not required for the site to function — it supports a visible feature (the reviews widget) rather than the site's core purpose. This site does not currently show a cookie-consent banner before it's set, so it loads along with the rest of the homepage on every visit.
If you'd prefer this cookie not be set, you can block third-party cookies in your browser's settings (this won't affect the strictly-necessary session cookie or break the contact form), or avoid the homepage's reviews section.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser's settings at any time. Blocking the session cookie will break the contact form's spam/security protections; blocking the Elfsight cookie only affects that widget's own view-counting and doesn't affect anything else on the site.

This policy reflects this site's actual, current cookie usage. It isn't a substitute for formal legal advice.
