Cookie Policy
Exactly which cookies this site uses, what each one does, and how to change your mind — no vague boilerplate.
Last updated: July 2026
The short version
- We use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary to keep the site working and secure. Under EU law these do not require your consent.
- We do not currently run any advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
- Your cookie choice is remembered in your browser, not on our servers.
- You can change your mind at any time — see section 5.
1. What cookies are, and what they are not
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device, which your browser sends back on each subsequent visit. Websites also use similar technologies such as local storage, which keeps information in your browser but, unlike a cookie, is not transmitted back to the server automatically.
The distinction matters here: the record of your cookie choice is kept in local storage, which means it stays in your browser and is never sent to us.
2. What we actually use
This is the full list. If it changes, this page changes.
| Name / type | Category | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
alx_cookie_consentlocal storage | Essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so the banner does not reappear on every page. | Until you clear your browser data |
altrixys_seensession storage | Essential | Remembers you have already seen the intro animation, so it is not replayed during your visit. | Until you close the tab |
| Anti-spam token contact form | Essential | Verifies the contact form was submitted by a person and not an automated script. | Duration of the submission |
| Security and performance CDN and caching layer | Essential | Distinguishes legitimate visitors from automated attacks, and serves pages faster. | Typically up to 30 minutes for bot management |
| WordPress session | Essential | Set only if someone logs in to administer the site. As an ordinary visitor you will never receive these. | Session, or up to 14 days if the administrator stays signed in |
3. Analytics
At the time of writing, no analytics cookies are loaded on this site. If we introduce analytics in future, they will load only after you choose Accept all in our banner, and this page will name them before they are used.
We may use tools that measure how the site performs in search results. These work from the search engine side and place no cookies on your device.
4. Third-party requests
Even where no cookie is set, your browser may contact third parties to load parts of this page:
- Google Fonts — the typefaces are delivered by Google, so your browser requests them from Google servers and your IP address is processed in doing so. No cookie is set, but it is a transfer of data, and we would rather tell you than not.
- Our CDN and security layer — inspects incoming traffic to block attacks, processing your IP address for that purpose.
5. How to change your choice
On this site: your choice lives in your browser. To be asked again, clear this site’s data through your browser settings, usually under Privacy → Cookies and site data. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, for all sites or specific ones. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of this site — such as the contact form — from working.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no agreed standard for how sites should respond to it. Since we do not track visitors across sites in the first place, there is nothing for us to disable.
7. Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a cookie, we will update the table above and the date at the top. We will not add tracking cookies quietly.
8. Contact
If anything here is unclear, or you want to know exactly what is stored in your browser and why, email [email protected] and we will explain it properly.
