Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage) are small pieces of data stored on your device by a website, used to remember information between visits.

2. How we use them

When you first visit this site, a banner offers you a choice: Accept All, Decline, or Manage Preferences. Your choice is recorded in your browser's local storage (not a server-side cookie) and respected on every page until you change it.

3. The categories we use

• Necessary: always on. Used to remember your cookie choice, theme (light/dark), and other core site functionality. The site cannot work properly without these.
• Analytics: optional, off by default. Would help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Marketing: optional, off by default. Would help us measure the effectiveness of outreach and campaigns.

At present we do not run any third-party analytics or marketing scripts, so enabling those categories currently has no additional effect, but the choice is stored and will apply automatically if and when such tools are added.

4. Managing your preferences

You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of every page, which reopens the preference panel. You can also clear cookies/local storage via your browser settings.

5. Updates

If we add analytics, advertising pixels, embedded media or other third-party tools, we will update this policy and the preference panel to reflect what is used and why.
