A website with no cookie banner.
This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and asks you to consent to nothing. Here is what we gave up to get there, and what we got back.

You arrived here without dismissing anything. No overlay, no toggles, no legitimate-interest checkbox hidden two clicks deep. That is not a design flourish - there is genuinely nothing to consent to.
What is not here
- No cookies. Not first-party, not third-party, not one.
- No analytics, no session recording, no heat maps, no advertising pixels.
- No social embeds, no third-party fonts loaded from someone else's domain, no tag manager.
- Nothing written to local storage that follows you between visits.
This site does not collect personal data on purpose. If you email us, the message lands in our inbox - there is no database of enquiries behind this site to secure, back up and eventually have to explain to you. The privacy policy sets out exactly who touches a message on the way.
What we gave up
Plenty, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. We cannot tell you which page you spent longest on, where you stopped scrolling, or which headline performed better. There is no funnel, no dashboard, no weekly number that goes up.
So we measure what we can measure honestly: performance in the lab, on real devices and throttled connections, before anything ships. And then the oldest signal there is - whether the right people get in touch.
What we got back
A page that loads with nothing between you and the content. The heaviest thing here is a scene we built ourselves: a laptop model rendering a live canvas rather than a screenshot. Even that waits its turn - it is fetched in the background, mounted off-screen, and skipped entirely if your browser or your connection says you would rather not.
Removing third-party scripts did more for the speed of this site than any optimisation we wrote ourselves. That is worth sitting with for a moment.
Consent you never have to ask for is the only consent banner that respects anyone's time.
The honest caveat
This is a studio site with a handful of pages and a clear purpose, and that is exactly why it works. We build e-commerce storefronts where attribution pays for the inventory, and analytics there is not a moral failing - it is the job. The point is not that measurement is wrong. It is that most sites collect a great deal of it without ever deciding what they would do with the answer.
We decided. The answer was nothing, so we collect nothing.
