Rest assured, we champion and support the privacy rights and expectations of all individuals using our website and services, treating everyone equally and without bias.

In reviewing our Privacy Policy, you’ll notice we steer clear of widespread big-tech offerings, tools, and obscure features. From our perspective, these often come with intricate, convoluted, or dubious privacy and data protection policies that span numerous legal jurisdictions, extending beyond our capacity to manage.

Our resources are limited, making it impractical for us to continuously monitor and implicitly endorse such wide-reaching services. We restrict our use to only what’s essential and clearly defined.

When it comes to data processing services, our go-to choice is always self-hosted and transparently managed solutions. This approach prioritizes security, and privacy minimizing our data footprint, thus reducing the risks of untraceable data loss, breaches, or misuse.

We’ve invested considerable effort in making technological choices that, whenever feasible, eliminate the need for cookies. Our ongoing goal is to transition to a completely cookie-free website at the earliest opportunity.

This Cookie Policy underwent its most recent update on 17 February 2024 and is applicable to individuals who are citizens or legal permanent residents of the United Kingdom.
