This website sets no cookies.

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store on your device, so that the site can recognise the same browser on a later request. Related technologies, such as local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, and browser fingerprinting, do a similar job by different means. They are used for things like keeping you logged in, remembering preferences, counting visitors, and following people between websites to target advertising.

None of it. Specifically, this site does not:

• set any first-party cookie;
• load any third-party script that could set one;
• write to your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage;
• run advertising, remarketing or heat-mapping tools;
• embed anything from another domain. No fonts fetched from a font provider, no video player, no map, no chat widget, no social button;
• track you across other websites, or receive anything about your activity elsewhere.

The typefaces are downloaded from this site's own domain, not from a font service, so your visit is not disclosed to a third party in order to render the page. The images are our own files.

Consent banners exist so that a site can ask permission before setting non-essential cookies. This site sets none, so there is nothing to ask permission for, and putting a banner up anyway would be asking you to click away a dialogue about a thing that is not happening.

Setting no cookies is not the same as knowing nothing. Any web server necessarily receives the technical details of each request: your IP address, the page requested, your browser and device type, and the time. Our hosting provider logs them in order to serve the site and protect it from abuse. Those logs are not cookies, they are not tied to a stored identifier in your browser, and we do not use them to build a profile of you. See the Privacy Policy.

The “Request access” and “Contact” links on this site open vortex.llc, and the footer links to other Vortex properties. Those are separate websites. They use cookies and publish their own cookie policies, and once you follow a link you are covered by the policy of the site you land on, not by this one.

You do not need to do anything to block cookies on this site. For the rest of the web, every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings, and blocking them may stop some sites working normally. General guidance is available at allaboutcookies.org.

If we ever add something to this website that sets a cookie or loads a third-party script, this page is updated before that change ships, and we revise the “last updated” date. If what is added requires consent, we will ask for it properly rather than assume it.
