cookie policy
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on a visitor’s device. They are commonly used to make websites work, remember preferences, provide security and, on some websites, measure usage or support advertising. Similar browser technologies, such as local storage and session storage, can also save small amounts of information in the browser.
On the current Skilled Helper website, Skilled Helper does not intentionally use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies. The site does use a small amount of browser session storage solely to make page‑to‑page transitions work smoothly. This storage is not used to identify you, build a profile or track you across websites.
Cookies and related technologies are commonly classified according to their type, duration and purpose.
type
- first‑party cookies: cookies set by the website you are visiting, or by a service acting on that website’s behalf
- third‑party cookies: cookies set by a different domain or external service
duration
- session cookies: cookies designed to expire when the browsing session ends
- persistent cookies: cookies that remain on a device until their stated expiry date or until they are deleted
category
- strictly necessary cookies: cookies needed for a website or a service requested by the user to function correctly or securely
- functional cookies: cookies used to remember choices or preferences and improve a website’s functionality
- analytics cookies: cookies used to understand how visitors use a website and to measure performance
- advertising or marketing cookies: cookies used to personalise advertising or measure marketing activity
technologies currently used on this website
The current static version of Skilled Helper does not set its own analytics, advertising or marketing cookies. The following browser storage is used by the site:
| name | type | duration | purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
skilled‑helper‑page‑transition |
session storage | temporary; removed when the destination page reads it | carries the direction of an internal page change so the transition animation can continue smoothly |
Session storage is a browser‑storage technology rather than a cookie. The value above contains only transition information about the page being left and the direction of navigation.
third‑party services
The website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. Netlify receives technical request information needed to deliver and secure the website and also processes information submitted through the contact form. Skilled Helper does not use Netlify as an advertising or behavioural‑tracking service. More information is available in Netlify’s privacy policy.
The site also loads the Montserrat typeface from Google Fonts. This requires your browser to request font resources from Google. Skilled Helper does not use Google Fonts to analyse your activity on this site. More information about Google’s handling of data is available in Google’s privacy policy.
controlling cookies and site data
You can delete or block cookies and other stored website data using your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage can sometimes affect how a website works. The current Skilled Helper site does not require analytics or advertising cookies in order to browse its pages.
If the website later introduces analytics, advertising, marketing or other non‑essential cookies, this policy and any required consent controls should be updated before those technologies are used.
