# Privacy

This is a public professional website. It has no user accounts, does not sell personal information and does not receive the details entered in its contact form.

_Last updated 31 August 2026_

## Hosting and essential technical data

Vercel serves this website and may process ordinary request data needed to deliver and secure it. That can include an IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device information, the requested page, timestamps and technical logs.

This information supports delivery, reliability, abuse prevention and incident investigation. It is handled by Vercel under its own privacy notice and service terms.

## Contact and correspondence

The contact form uses a mailto link. Completing it does not submit anything to this website or store the form data on its servers; it opens a message in your own email application for you to review and send.

If you send an email, the message and the contact details you include are used to read and respond to your enquiry. Correspondence is retained only while it remains useful for the conversation, professional relationship, record keeping or a legal obligation.

## Optional analytics

If analytics identifiers are configured for the deployment, Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity are available to help understand how the site is read. Those services are not initialized until you choose Accept in the consent notice.

After consent, analytics may record page views, referral information, browser and device characteristics, approximate location and interactions with the site. Microsoft Clarity may also produce heatmaps and session replays. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization and advertising storage and personalization disabled.

Choosing Decline leaves those analytics services unloaded. You can change the effective choice at any time by deleting this site's cookies and revisiting the page.

## Cookies and consent

The site sets one first-party consent cookie named cs_consent after you choose Accept or Decline. It records only that choice, uses SameSite=Lax and expires after 180 days.

Analytics providers may set their own cookies only after consent and only when their identifiers are configured. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, although deleting cs_consent means the site will ask for your choice again.

## How information is used

Technical request data is used to operate and protect the site. Consent-based analytics is used to understand which public material is useful and where the reading experience can improve. Email correspondence is used only to handle the enquiry and any relationship that follows from it.

## Service providers and transfers

Vercel provides hosting. Google and Microsoft provide optional analytics when they are configured and you consent. These providers may process information in countries other than your own under their published privacy terms and safeguards.

This website does not sell personal information, build advertising profiles or provide visitor data to data brokers.

## Retention and control

The consent cookie lasts for 180 days unless you delete it sooner. Hosting and analytics retention follows the relevant provider settings and policies; this website does not override those records with a separate visitor database.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about, access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to or restrict some processing. You can also withdraw analytics consent by deleting the consent and provider cookies, then choosing Decline.
