Cookie Policy

Last updated: 9 August 2026. This page explains, in plain terms, exactly what this website stores in your browser and why.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser. "Similar technology" covers things like browser local storage, which works in a comparable way but isn't sent back to the server with every request, unlike a traditional cookie. Both are commonly used to remember a choice you've made or to understand, in aggregate, how a site is used.

2. What we use on this site

That's the complete list. This site doesn't use any other cookies or tracking technology.

bw-cookie-consent (local storage, essential)	Remembers whether you accepted or rejected the cookie banner, so you're not asked again on your next visit.	Until you clear your browser data
Web analytics (cookieless, optional)	Counts page views and general traffic trends in aggregate, so we know which pages are useful. Doesn't set a cookie and doesn't identify you individually. Only loads if you accept via the cookie banner.	Not stored on your device

3. What we don't use

We don't use advertising or marketing cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, social media tracking widgets, or any technology that builds an advertising profile of you. If that ever changes, this page, and the cookie banner, will be updated first.

4. Your choice, and how to change it

The first time you visit, a banner asks you to Accept or Reject optional analytics. Rejecting still lets you use the whole site normally — nothing is restricted. If you want to change your mind, clear this site's local storage in your browser settings (or clear your browsing data for bastianworks.com) and reload the page; the banner will appear again.

5. Browser controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and site data through their settings, and let you browse in a private/incognito mode that doesn't retain them after you close the window. Because this site's only optional storage is the cookieless analytics script described above, blocking cookies entirely in your browser won't affect how this site works.

6. Changes to this policy

If we ever add a new cookie, analytics tool, or tracking technology, we'll update this page and the table above before it goes live, and, where required, ask for your consent again.
