Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 September 2026
This website doesn't use tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. The only thing we store in your browser is a note that you've closed our cookie notice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device so it can remember something about your visit. Websites can also use similar technologies, such as your browser's "local storage", for the same purpose. The law treats these the same way, so this policy covers both.
2. What we store
Our website doesn't set any cookies. We store just one item in your browser's local storage, which is strictly necessary for the site to work as you'd expect:
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| lc_cookie_consent Local storage |
Remembers that you've closed our cookie notice, so it doesn't appear on every page | Until you clear your browser data |
It contains no personal information and is never sent to us. Because it's strictly necessary, we don't need to ask for your consent to use it.
We don't use performance, analytics, advertising or social media cookies, and our fonts are hosted on our own website rather than loaded from Google or another provider.
3. Third-party services
Donations. When you donate, you're taken to a secure payment page run by Stripe. Stripe sets its own essential cookies there to process your payment and prevent fraud. We don't control these — see Stripe's cookie policy.
Supporter count. Our homepage loads a live count of supporters from our database provider, Supabase. This doesn't set any cookies, but, like any request to a website, it shares your IP address with them. See our privacy policy for details.
Social media. Our links to Instagram and TikTok are ordinary links. Nothing from those platforms loads on our website unless you click through, and once you do, their own cookie policies apply.
4. Your choices
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. If you clear ours, the cookie notice will simply appear again on your next visit.

5. Changes to this policy
If we ever add cookies that aren't strictly necessary — for example, to understand how the site is used — we'll update this policy first and ask for your consent before setting them.
