This site sets no cookies. It writes nothing to your device — no cookies, no local storage, no session storage, no tracking pixels. That is a design decision, not an oversight, and it is the reason you have never been shown a consent banner here.
Effective 1 August 2026
Most sites need your permission before they measure anything, because measurement usually means storing an identifier on your device. We do not store one. There is nothing to consent to, and nothing to withdraw.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the UK PECR, consent is triggered by storing or reading information on a user’s device — not by analytics as such. A site that stores nothing crosses no threshold. Removing the storage removes the obligation, rather than papering over it with a dialogue box.
Each request is turned into a short one-way hash of the IP address and browser string, combined with a secret that is regenerated every night at midnight UTC.
Three things follow from that. The raw IP address is never written to disk. The hash cannot be reversed to recover it. And because the secret changes daily, the same visitor produces a different value tomorrow, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next.
Pages viewed, how far down them people scroll, which links are clicked, roughly how long a page held attention, the referring site, and a coarse device and browser category.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are both honoured. If either is enabled, measurement is switched off before the first request is sent — not filtered out afterwards.
Adding a third-party tag would change the analysis entirely and would require consent. If that day comes, this page will be updated before the tag is added, and a consent mechanism will appear with it.
