Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-13

Draft for review. Accurate for the Site as it stands today. If analytics, embedded video, a map, or any social widget is added later, this policy must be updated and a consent banner added.

1. The short version

The Site sets no advertising cookies and no analytics cookies. It does not track you across other websites. The only third-party service in use is a security check on the contact form (below). Because every item on this page is strictly necessary, there is no cookie consent banner — there is nothing to consent to beyond what is needed to make the Site work.

2. What is actually stored

Name	Type	Purpose	Lifetime
`qiwam_intro_seen`	Session storage (first-party). Not a cookie — it is never sent to a server.	Remembers that the short intro film has played, so it does not replay while you move around the Site.	Cleared automatically when you close the browser tab.
Cloudflare Turnstile	Third-party cookie/local storage, set by Cloudflare when the contact form loads.	Confirms you’re a real visitor, not a bot, before a message can be sent — the same category as a CAPTCHA.	Set by Cloudflare; see their own policy for the exact duration.

Both items are classed as strictly necessary / security, so most privacy laws (including the EU ePrivacy rules) do not require prior consent for either. You can still clear them any time through your browser’s “clear site data” option — doing so may replay the intro film or require re-verifying on the contact form, nothing else on the Site depends on them.

3. Third parties

Fonts, images and video are hosted on our own domain. No Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, chat widgets or social buttons are embedded. The one exception is Cloudflare Turnstile, loaded only on the contact page to block spam submissions — no other page contacts a third party.

4. Controlling storage

You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking the item above only means the intro film may replay; nothing else on the Site depends on it.

5. If this changes

Adding measurement tools or embedded third-party content in future would introduce new cookies. If that happens we will update this page, list each cookie, and present a consent choice before any non-essential cookie is set.
