Cookie Policy
Last updated October 20261. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are needed to make a site work. Others track what you do, often for advertising.
2. Cookies on this website
This website does not set any cookies of its own, and it does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The booking calendar on our Connect page loads from Cal.com only when you choose to open it.
| Service | Uses cookies on this site? | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Umami (website statistics) | No | Counts page views, the website that sent you, browser, operating system, device type and country. The statistics are anonymous and do not identify you. |
| Netlify (hosting and forms) | No | Serves the website and receives the forms you choose to send. |
| Kit (newsletter sign-up) | No | Receives your first name and email address when you subscribe. No Kit cookies are placed on this site. |
| Metricool (website statistics) | No | Counts visits and pages viewed. It does not store your IP address, and the statistics are anonymous and do not identify you. |
| Cal.com (call booking) | Only if you open the calendar | Loads the booking calendar from cal.com when you tick the consent box and choose Book a call on our Connect page. Cal.com may set its own cookies to run the calendar. See cal.com/privacy. |
We check this with a cookie scan before launch and whenever we add a new service, and we update this page if anything changes.
3. Other technologies
To keep the newsletter pop-up from getting in your way, this website saves up to three small notes in your browser's own storage. They stay on your device, are never sent to us or anyone else, and do not identify you.
| Name | How long | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| hoas_t0 | Until you close the tab | Notes when your visit started, so the pop-up waits until you have been here for 20 seconds. |
| hoas_nl_later | Until you clear it (we act on it for 14 days) | Remembers that you chose "Not now", so the pop-up does not appear again for 14 days. |
| hoas_nl | Until you clear it | Remembers that you have subscribed, so we do not ask you again. |
You can clear these at any time in your browser settings. This website does not use tracking pixels or fingerprinting to follow you.
4. Other websites
Links to Substack, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, WeChat, our podcast host and news publishers take you to their websites, which set their own cookies under their own policies.
5. Your choices
Because this website uses no optional cookies, there is nothing to switch on or off. You can still block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your permission first and list them here.
