Cookie Notice

How this website uses cookies, analytics, and similar browser technologies.

The site uses self-hosted Umami analytics to understand basic website activity. The public tracking script does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Selected interactions such as service/contact links, enquiry status and requests to load a video are also counted without sending the form’s name, email or message as event data. The analytics script sends limited page and browser context, such as page URL, referrer, screen size, language, browser/device information, and the website identifier. Umami may use request information such as IP address and user agent to calculate session and location statistics.

We are continuing to verify the detailed server-side analytics configuration and retention settings. We will not claim a consent exemption unless the actual setup supports it.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary technical cookies may be used only if required by hosting, security, form submission, or future functionality. These are different from optional analytics or marketing technologies.

Optional YouTube Video

Field notes uses locally hosted artwork until you choose “Play episode”. That action loads a privacy-enhanced YouTube player from youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube then receives your IP address and browser information and may store information when you interact with the player. Closing the player removes it from this page. You can read the complete article without loading it, or use the clearly labelled external YouTube link.

For YouTube's handling of information, see Google's Privacy Policy. Privacy-enhanced mode is not a promise of anonymous playback.

Future Changes

If advertising tools, persistent identifiers, cookie-based tracking, or other non-essential technologies are added later, this notice will be updated. If consent is required for the actual setup, FieldOps will ask before using those non-essential technologies.

Browser Controls

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some technical cookies may affect parts of websites that rely on them.
