The short version
- The main pages of this site set no cookies.
- One small setting is stored in your browser: your light or dark theme choice.
- That's why there is no cookie banner.
1. What is stored in your browser
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| vc-theme | Local storage | Remembers if you picked light, dark or system theme | Until you clear it |
| vc-portfolio-bar | Session storage | On the concept demos, remembers if you hid the "Back to gallery" bar | Until you close the tab |
Both are strictly necessary for something you asked for, never sent to a server, and not used to identify you.
2. Third parties
The main pages load no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers. Fonts are served from this site.
When you follow a link to Calendly, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, GitHub, X or Gumroad, you leave this site and their own cookie policies apply.
The concept demos under /work/ are separate, self-contained pages. Some load fonts and code from Google Fonts, cdnjs and jsDelivr, and some keep small settings in your browser, such as whether sound is on, so they remember them while you click around. None of them set advertising or tracking cookies.
3. Analytics
Visits are counted with Vercel Web Analytics, run by Vercel, the company that hosts this site. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. A visit is recognised only by a hash of the request, which is discarded after 24 hours, and the counts are kept in aggregate, not tied to you or your IP address.
For each page view it records the page, the referring site, approximate location (country, region and city), browser, operating system and device type.
Page speed is measured with Vercel Speed Insights, also run by Vercel. It sets no cookies either. On each page load it reports how fast the page loaded and responded, together with the page, network speed (such as 4g), browser, operating system, device type and country. These readings are not tied to you or your IP address.
4. Your control
You can clear local and session storage at any time in your browser settings. The site works without them; the theme just goes back to following your device.
