Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage are treated the same way in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. We use two categories:

Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include the small preference record that remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask you on every page. They do not track you and are not used for marketing.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — for example which pages are most read — so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you select “Accept” on our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are placed and Google Analytics is not loaded. We enable IP anonymisation.

3. Third-party cookies

Where you consent to analytics, Google Analytics (provided by Google) sets cookies under the _ga family to distinguish users. Google processes this data as described in its own privacy and cookies policies. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. Managing your preferences

You can decline analytics cookies at any time using the banner shown on your first visit. To change a previous choice, clear this site's cookies and site data in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will appear again so you can choose afresh. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's settings, though some parts of the site may then not work as intended.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or how we operate. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

6. More information

For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us.
