Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
This page explains the small amount of information our website stores in your browser, and why.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in the same way. We call them all “cookies” on this page.
The cookies we use
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for our website to work. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we don’t let other companies track you on our site.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Type | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cg_consent | Carbonography | Remembers your choice on our cookie banner so we don’t ask again | Local storage | Until you clear it |
| cg_site_unlock | Carbonography | Remembers that you entered the preview password (only while the site is in private preview) | Session / local storage | Until you close the browser, or until you clear it if you chose “Remember this device” |
| cg-news | Carbonography | Remembers that you joined our mailing list, so we don't show you the sign-up form again | Local storage | Until you clear it |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid and similar | Stripe | Set only when you go to pay. Used by Stripe to process your payment securely and prevent fraud | Cookie | Up to 1 year (__stripe_mid) / 30 minutes (__stripe_sid) |
Because these are strictly necessary, the law does not require your consent for them, but we tell you about them here so you know. You can read Stripe’s own cookie policy at stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.
Fonts
Our pages use fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser loads them, Google receives your IP address and browser details. Google Fonts does not set cookies. See Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
If we add other cookies
If we ever add analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this page and ask for your permission first. Nothing non-essential will be set until you agree.
Managing cookies
You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our home page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the site — such as payment — may not work.
