What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as whether you have accepted the cookie notice — so that it does not need to ask again on your next visit.
Cookies do not run programs or carry viruses. A cookie from this website can only be read by this website, not by other sites.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies — always active. These are required for the website to function. They include the cookie that records your consent preferences so the notice does not reappear on every page. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies — optional. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate: which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from geographically. This data is anonymised and used only to improve the site. No personal data is shared with Google for advertising purposes via this integration.
Marketing cookies — optional. If you arrive via a paid advertising channel (Google Ads or similar), a cookie may be set to help us measure whether the advertising is reaching the right audience. We do not use this data to serve personalised advertising directly.
Preference cookies — optional. These remember minor settings such as your preferred language or region so you do not have to re-select them on each visit.
