Cookie policy

A small amount of storage. A clear explanation.

Last updated · 23 September 2026

Current website

This version has no analytics, advertising pixels or embedded third-party assessment or payment tools. It uses local storage to remember that you have acknowledged the cookie notice. Local storage is browser storage rather than an HTTP cookie, but both belong in this explanation.

Storage inventory

NamePurposeDuration
bdl-cookie-notice-v1First-party local storage remembering acknowledgment of this notice; contains a version and timestamp.180 days. An expired record is removed on the next visit.
It does not contain your diagnostic answers or contact details. The Factory System pathway selection now lasts only while the page is open. This update removes any legacy factory-audience preference when that page is visited.

Your controls

You can clear this site’s storage through your browser settings. Blocking storage does not prevent access to the site; the notice may reappear. There are no optional tracking categories to enable in this version.

External websites

Microsoft Forms and Stripe may use their own cookies or storage after you follow their links. Their controls apply on those services; this site’s acknowledgment does not grant consent to them. Third-party font requests have been removed from the supplied Factory System page so its font styling uses local system fallbacks.

Future changes

If analytics, advertising, embedded media or other optional technologies are added, update this inventory and implement consent controls before activating technologies that require consent. Acknowledging this notice is not consent to future tracking. Hosting or deployment changes require a fresh storage and network audit.
