What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies are stored on your browser and can be read when you return to the same website or visit other sites that use the same cookies.
We use cookies on this website in a limited and transparent way. This policy explains what we use, why, and how you can control your preferences.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies — always active, cannot be disabled. These are necessary for basic site functions such as remembering your cookie consent choice and enabling standard navigation. Without these, the site cannot work properly. They do not track you or collect personal data for any other purpose.
Analytics Cookies — optional. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site: which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and how people arrive. This data is collected in aggregated form and is not used to identify individuals. We use this information to improve the site over time.
Preference Cookies — optional. These remember choices you make on the site, such as language or display preferences, so you do not need to re-select them on subsequent visits.
Marketing Cookies — optional. We do not currently run advertising campaigns. This category is included so that our consent framework is complete if this changes in future. At present, no marketing cookies are active on this site.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies (consent record) — stored for up to 12 months, so you are not asked for consent on every visit

Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics — analytics, used only with consent. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected by their service.
