This policy explains how Fidwen ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what each one is for, and how you can control them. We keep this to the minimum needed to run the site, and we don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage — work in much the same way. They can be "essential" (needed for the site to function or to remember a choice you've made) or "optional" (which we only set with your consent).
Our approach
When you first visit, we show a short banner so you can accept or reject optional cookies. We remember that choice on your device so we don't ask again. You can change it at any time — see "Managing your choices" below. We don't load any optional third-party content in the background; the only optional item — our booking calendar — loads only if you actively choose to open it.
Cookies this site uses
| Type | What it does | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Consent preference (essential) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies, so the banner doesn't reappear on every page. Stored in your browser's local storage. | Fidwen |
| Analytics (essential, cookieless) | We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and traffic trends. It is privacy-first and sets no cookies — it doesn't track you across other sites or identify you personally. | Cloudflare |
| Booking calendar (optional) | When you open "Book a call", we load a Google Calendar scheduling window. Google may set its own cookies at that point to run the booking widget. It loads only when you choose to open it — opening it is your choice to load Google's widget; it never loads on its own. | |
| Fonts (essential) | We load fonts from Google Fonts for a consistent look. This does not set cookies on your device. |
Managing your choices
You can accept or reject optional cookies using the banner shown on your first visit. To change your decision later, clear this site's data in your browser (which removes the saved preference and brings the banner back), or adjust cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies for any site — see your browser's help pages for details. Blocking essential items may stop parts of the site working as intended.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change; the date at the top shows when it was last revised. For anything cookie- or privacy-related, email steve@fidwen.ai.
