Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 July 2025
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are used to make sites work as expected, to remember your preferences, and — where you consent — to collect information about how the site is used.
We do not use cookies to collect information beyond what is described in this policy, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
Always onRequired for the website to function. They include the cookie consent preference you set on this page (stored in your browser's localStorage, not as a cookie). These cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Records your cookie preferences | Persistent (localStorage) |
Analytics cookies
Used to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This information is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data. We use Google Analytics where consent is given.
| Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Page views, sessions, traffic source | Up to 2 years |
| _ga, _gid | Distinguishes users | 2 years / 24 hours |
Marketing cookies
Used by advertising platforms to show relevant content to visitors who have previously visited our site. These are only active if you give consent. If no advertising is running, these cookies have no effect.
Preference cookies
Remember settings that affect how the site behaves, such as region or interface preferences. Currently limited in use on this site.
Cookie duration
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser. Used for temporary session state.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (e.g. Google Analytics _ga: 2 years, _gid: 24 hours). Can be deleted manually through your browser.
- localStorage — stores your consent preference on your device until cleared. Not technically a cookie but functions similarly.
Your cookie preferences
You can change your preferences at any time. Essential cookies are always on; the others are optional.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.
