Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 15, 2026 · Effective: May 15, 2026
Plain-language summary: We use two types of cookies — essential cookies that keep the site working, and analytics cookies (Google Analytics) that help us understand traffic. Analytics cookies only load after you click "Accept" on our banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies in your browser.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them). They can be "first-party cookies" (set by this website) or "third-party cookies" (set by a third-party service we use).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential operation: To ensure the website functions correctly, including remembering your cookie consent preference.
- Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and where traffic comes from. This helps us improve content and user experience.
We do not use cookies for advertising, re-targeting, or tracking you across other websites.

5. Your consent
When you first visit our website, we display a cookie consent banner. By clicking "Accept", you consent to our use of analytics cookies (as described in Section 3). By clicking "Decline", only essential cookies will be set.
Your consent is recorded (along with the date and version of the policy) and stored in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months. After 12 months, we will ask for your consent again.
For EU and UK visitors, this consent mechanism is designed to comply with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR requirement that consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Analytics cookies are not loaded until after you actively click "Accept".
6. Managing your preferences
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:
- Clearing the cookies set by this website in your browser settings (this will remove the
cookie_consentcookie and trigger the banner on your next visit), or - Using your browser's built-in privacy or cookie management tools.
Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect any processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
Browser controls
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Instructions for the most popular browsers:
Blocking all cookies will affect your experience on many websites and may prevent some functionality of this site (such as remembering your theme preference).
Opting out of Google Analytics

7. Policy updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
