Draft, needs legal review. This page was written as a starting point and has not been checked by a lawyer. Details in yellow still have to be filled in before it goes live.

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar browser storage (local storage) works the same way. This policy lists everything we use.

This website does not set any cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. [Update this if you add analytics or ads later]

2. The Huddle app (huddle.chatrenderer.com)

These are not used for tracking or advertising. The business running the website is responsible for telling its visitors about them.
