What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit so it works properly.

What cookies does this site use?

This site sets no first-party cookies of its own.

We have deliberately built the site so that browsing it does not require any cookies. Our hosting provider (Vercel) and our database provider (Supabase) may set their own technical cookies to deliver the page to you safely — see “Third-party cookies” below — but we do not control or use those for analytics, advertising or tracking.

Local storage (not a cookie)

We use one item of browser local storage — a similar mechanism to a cookie, but stored separately by your browser and never sent to any server.

You can clear this entry at any time via your browser’s “clear site data” or developer tools.

Analytics: no cookies used

We use two privacy-friendly methods to understand how the site is used — neither sets cookies or collects personal information.

  • Service view counts — when you view a service listing, we record which service was viewed, which local area it relates to, and when. No IP address, name, or identifying information is stored. This data is held on our own server.
  • Vercel Analytics — we use Vercel Analytics to record page views, referrer, device type, browser, and country (country is derived from your IP address; the IP address itself is not stored). No cookies are set. Data is processed by Vercel, our hosting provider, in accordance with their privacy policy.

Third-party cookies

Our hosting and database providers may set short-lived technical cookies to keep the service running and to defend it against bots:

We do not use any of these cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking, and we do not have access to their contents.

What we do not use

  • ✗ No advertising or marketing cookies
  • ✗ No Google Analytics
  • ✗ No social media tracking pixels
  • ✗ No cross-site tracking or user profiling

How to control cookies

You can manage or delete any cookies set by your browser through its settings at any time. You can also clear our local-storage entry by using your browser’s “clear site data” option.
