Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device (phone, computer, tablet) when you visit it. They allow the site to remember information about you — from simple things like your preferred language, to which pages you've visited. Similar technologies (local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons) work the same way and are covered by this policy.
2. Why we use them
We use cookies to:
- Make the Site work reliably (essential functions like remembering you're logged in)
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (analytics)
- Remember your preferences (e.g. dismissing the cookie banner)
We do not use cookies for cross-site behavioural advertising, profile building or selling to third parties.
3. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the Site to function. Blocking them will break parts of the Site. Under GDPR they do not require your consent, but you can still block them in your browser (at the cost of functionality).
Preference cookies
Remember choices you've made — cookie consent, dismissed banners, language. Set only after you interact with the Site.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
Help us understand which pages are popular, how users move through the Site, and where errors occur. We use privacy-respecting analytics providers (Plausible) that do not track you across sites.

5. Third-party cookies
Some third-party services embedded on the Site (e.g. YouTube videos, Twitter embeds if we use them, Google Fonts) may set their own cookies. We keep third-party embeds to a minimum and do not directly control the cookies they set. Where possible, we use privacy-friendly alternatives (e.g. self-hosted fonts, privacy-preserving embed modes).
6. Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer or clearing this site's cookies from your browser and reloading — the banner will reappear.
7. Browser controls
All modern browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Instructions:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
8. Do Not Track
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — when your browser sends GPC, we treat it as an opt-out of analytics cookies, regardless of whether you've interacted with our banner. We also honour the older "Do Not Track" browser signal.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new tools we adopt or new legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent change.
