Cookie notice
A cookie is a small note a browser stores. This page lists the notes this site may keep, how long they last, and how to refuse the ones that are not required to show the pages.
This notice should be read with the privacy notice. The consent banner on first visit lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Either choice still lets you read the site, request a sitting, and use the contact form.
What cookies are
A cookie is a short text file stored by your browser. Some cookies are essential to remember a choice you just made. Others count visits. This site does not use cookies to follow you across other publishers’ pages.
Types we use
Essential. The consent cookie remembers whether you pressed Accept or Reject so the banner does not return on every page. Without it, the banner would appear again each visit; the rest of the site still works.
Analytics (only if you accept). If you accept, a visit tally may be stored so we can see which field notes are read. If you reject, that tally is not set. Rejecting does not block the contact form, the pictures, or the legal pages.

|---|---|---|---|

No third-party advertising cookies are set by this site. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts; that request may allow Google to see your IP address. It is not a cookie we write. If you prefer not to load remote fonts, your browser’s tracking protection or a local font setting will substitute a similar serif.
How to manage or disable cookies
Use Accept or Reject on the banner. You may also delete cookies in your browser settings, or set the browser to refuse them. After deletion, the banner will appear again because the essential consent note is gone.
Third-party cookies
We do not set marketing cookies for other firms. If you follow a link away from this site, that other site has its own notice.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics cookies has no effect on requesting a stock review, reading rates, or opening the pictures. Blocking all cookies, including the essential consent note, only means the banner will keep asking. Pages remain readable.
Changes
If we add a cookie, we will update this table and ask again where the law requires a fresh choice.
