Short version: my site sets no cookies of its own. The support chat sets one so it can remember your conversation. The Google Calendar embed can too, so I keep it switched off until you choose to load it.

The short answer
My site doesn't set any cookies of its own. Nothing here follows you around the internet and there are no ads.
Two things on the site can set cookies. The support chat sets one. The calendar can too, and I keep it switched off until you turn it on yourself.
What could set one
| What | Cookies? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| My site itself | No | There's no login and no cart, so there's no session to remember. |
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | No | Counts page views without cookies and without fingerprinting your device. |
| Cloudflare hosting | No | Just serves the files. It may set a security cookie if the network spots an attack. |
| Google Fonts | No | Sends four font files. Google sees your IP address doing it, which is unavoidable when a file comes from someone else's server. |
| Support chat (Bland) | Yes, one | Bland's chat sets a cookie called bland_visitor_id so it can pick your conversation back up. It runs out after a week. |
| Google Calendar embed | Yes, if you load it | My race calendar is a Google product. Loading it lets Google set its own cookies in your browser. |
How I handle the calendar
The Google Calendar embed doesn't load on its own. Where the calendar would be, there's a button instead. Nothing gets requested from Google until you tap it.
If you never tap it, Google never sees you and Google sets no cookie on my site. Your choice is remembered in your own browser using local storage, which isn't a cookie and never gets sent to a server.
My full schedule is also published as a plain table right above the calendar, so you lose nothing by leaving it off.
Changing your mind
If you let the calendar load and want to undo that, use this button. It clears the stored choice and the calendar goes back to being switched off.
Clearing cookies and site data for cohenpeterson.com in your browser settings does the same thing. On an iPhone that's Settings, then Safari, then Advanced, then Website Data.
Do Not Track
Nothing here tracks you, so there's nothing for a Do Not Track signal to switch off. What that signal asks for is already how my site works.
