Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They help the site remember things — like whether you've already accepted this cookie notice — so you don't have to repeat actions on every visit.

Cookies are not executable programs. They cannot run code or carry viruses. They are simply a way for a website to remember state between pages or sessions.

Cookies we use

Essential Cookies Always active

Required for the website to function. These include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice, maintain basic site security, and manage server sessions. They cannot be switched off.

Examples: cookieConsent (localStorage), session identifiers

Analytics Cookies Optional

Help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages they visit, how long they stay, and where they arrive from. This information is anonymous and used to improve the website.

Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — data retained for 14 months

Marketing Cookies Optional

Used to measure the reach of any online advertising and to show you relevant content if you visit partner platforms. If you decline these, advertising you see elsewhere will not be based on your visit to our site.

Examples: Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tags

Preference Cookies Optional

Store choices you make on our site — such as any display settings or previously selected options — so you don't need to reselect them on your next visit.

Examples: Language preference, region settings

Third-party cookies

Some optional cookies are set by third-party services we use. These parties have their own privacy policies:

Google Analytics — website usage statistics. Google Privacy Policy.
Google Ads — advertising conversion measurement where enabled.
Meta (Facebook) Pixel — advertising reach measurement where enabled.

We do not use social media sharing cookies or third-party advertising networks beyond those listed above.

How long cookies last

Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: remain until their expiry date or until you clear them. Analytics cookies typically expire after 14 months; consent cookies after 12 months.
localStorage data (used for your consent record): stored until you clear your browser data or use the controls below.
