Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide website operators with information about how the site is used.

In addition to traditional cookies, we use similar tracking technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. References to "cookies" in this policy include all such technologies unless stated otherwise.

We categorise the cookies on our website into the following types:

• Essential cookies — necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting aggregated, anonymous information.
• Performance cookies — measure site speed and reliability metrics to help us improve load times and stability.

We do not currently use advertising, targeting, or social-media tracking cookies.

Essential cookies enable core website functionality. Without them the website cannot operate properly. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are set automatically when you visit the Site.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. GA4 places cookies on your device to help us understand how visitors find and use our website — for example, which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. All data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

We have configured GA4 with the following privacy settings:

• IP anonymisation: enabled — the last octet of your IP address is masked before any data is stored.
• Data retention: set to 14 months.
• Signals: disabled — we do not use Google Signals or cross-device tracking.
• Advertising features: disabled.

Google's use of data collected via GA4 is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of GA4 tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Our website is hosted on Vercel, which uses Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to collect anonymised performance metrics such as page load time, Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), and error rates. This data helps us identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.

Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly: it does not use cookies for tracking, does not fingerprint individual users, and does not share data with advertising networks. Data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

For more information, see Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy.

Beyond the cookies listed above, our website may include links to third-party websites (e.g. LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter/X). If you follow those links, the third-party sites may set their own cookies on your device. We have no control over those cookies and recommend you review the relevant third party's cookie or privacy policy.

We do not embed third-party social-media widgets, advertising pixels, or chat widgets that would set cookies on your device without your knowledge.

You can control and/or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as the website cannot function without them.

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising across many networks by visiting Your Online Choices (EU) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (US).

Where required by applicable law (including the EU ePrivacy Directive and UK PECR), we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (analytics cookies) on your device. You may provide or withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Preferences panel accessible from the footer of our website.

For visitors from India, we rely on legitimate interest for analytics cookies, given that Vercel Analytics is cookie-free and GA4 is configured with IP anonymisation and no advertising features. You may object to this processing at any time by contacting us.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or legal requirements evolve. We will update the effective date at the top of this page whenever we make material changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

If we introduce new categories of cookies that require your consent, we will re-display the cookie consent banner to obtain fresh consent.
