This policy explains what this site stores on your device, what it does, and how you control it. We keep it minimal — enough to run the site and the basket, plus optional anonymous analytics that only run if you say yes. Nothing sold on.
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. They let the site remember things between pages and visits — and help us understand, in aggregate, what’s useful.
This site sets no tracking cookies of its own. It stores three values in your browser’s local storage: mf-consent (your answer to the cookie notice — accepted or declined), mf_cart_v1 (your basket, kept until you clear it) and mf_pending_cur (the currency of a card payment in progress, removed when the payment completes). None of them identifies you and none is sent to us. The only analytics we run is Google Analytics 4, and it loads only after you press Accept in the cookie notice. Decline, and nothing from Google is loaded at all.
What can be stored falls into three kinds:
Three services set their own cookies on their own domains when you use them: Google Analytics (only after you accept), Stripe (checkout.stripe.com) when you pay by card, and BigMarker when you register for or watch a webinar. Each is governed by that provider’s cookie policy. Cloudflare Turnstile, which protects our forms against spam, loads from challenges.cloudflare.com and processes technical data about your browser for that check; it is not used for tracking or advertising.
To change your analytics choice, use the button at the foot of this page — it brings the cookie notice back so you can accept or decline again. You can also clear the stored values, and any third-party cookies, at any time in your browser settings; clearing them empties your basket and brings the cookie notice back.
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The date above shows when it last changed.
