Cookie policy
Last updated: 5 May 2026 · InkKiln
InkKiln uses one essential cookie and a small set of browser local-storage keys. We also load Plausible Analytics — a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool — only if you consent.
Your choice
When you first visit the site, the consent banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential storage. You can change your mind any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer.
Categories
- Essential — required for the site to work; set without consent.
- Functional — remembers your preferences; needs your consent.
- Analytics — anonymous usage measurement; needs your consent.
