Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. "Browser storage" (localStorage / sessionStorage) is a similar mechanism that stores data locally in your browser rather than sending it to a server. Both can be used to remember information between page visits.

2. What We Use and Why

This website uses only functional browser storage — no analytics trackers, no advertising pixels, no cross-site tracking. We store two items in your browser's localStorage: (a) fch_popup_dismissed — records whether you have already seen the contact popup, so it is not shown repeatedly (expires after 30 days); (b) fch_cookie_consent — records your acknowledgement of this cookie notice (expires after 365 days). Neither item contains personally identifiable information and neither is shared with third parties.

3. Third-Party Services — Formspree

When you submit the contact form, your data is sent to Formspree, Inc. (USA). Formspree may set a session cookie on the form page to prevent spam and validate the submission. This cookie is strictly necessary for the form to function. Formspree's own privacy policy is available at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

4. No Analytics or Advertising Cookies

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or any other analytics or advertising tracking technology. No data about your browsing behaviour is collected for marketing or profiling purposes.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Because we use only functional storage, there is nothing to opt out of on our side. You can delete or block browser storage at any time via your browser settings: in Chrome choose Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data; in Firefox choose Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data; in Safari choose Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Clearing localStorage will reset the popup and consent flags, so the notice will appear again on your next visit.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date of the last revision appears at the bottom of this page.
