1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. We also use localStorage, a similar browser storage mechanism, for certain preferences.

2. How we use cookies

These items are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require consent under PECR.

Analytics cookies (require consent)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. These cookies are only set when you give your consent via the cookie banner. They help us improve the site by showing us which pages are popular, how visitors navigate, and where they come from.
