This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, what purpose they serve and how you can control them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers broader data handling practices.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and store certain preferences or technical information. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the page (third-party cookies). They may last for a single session (session cookies, deleted when you close your browser) or persist on your device for a defined period (persistent cookies).
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core features such as remembering your cookie consent preference so that the consent prompt is not displayed on every page load. These cookies do not collect information about your browsing behaviour for marketing purposes. They cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the website. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined categories) | 365 days | First-party |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on each page, referring sources and general navigation patterns. The data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies are only set if you provide consent through the cookie consent mechanism. Legal basis: consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. No personal information is stored in the cookie itself. | 2 years | Third-party (Google Analytics) |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state across page requests. | 2 years | Third-party (Google Analytics) |
If Google Analytics is active on this website, it operates with IP anonymisation enabled, meaning your full IP address is not stored by Google. Google’s privacy policy and its specific data practices for Analytics are described at policies.google.com/privacy and support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
Cookies We Do Not Use
This website does not use advertising cookies, remarketing cookies, social media tracking pixels or any cookie whose purpose is to build a profile of your interests for targeted advertising. We do not participate in real-time bidding, programmatic advertising or cross-site tracking networks.
Third-Party Cookies from Embedded Services
This website uses Google Fonts to deliver typefaces. When your browser requests font files from Google’s servers, Google may set cookies or log your IP address according to its own privacy policy. This is a functional integration necessary for the visual presentation of the website and is not used for tracking or advertising.
If the website embeds any other third-party content in the future (such as video players or social sharing tools), those services may set their own cookies. Any additions will be reflected in an updated version of this policy.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this website, a consent mechanism allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this website and revisiting, which will cause the consent prompt to reappear.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Instructions are available at the following links:
Mozilla Firefox cookie settings
Microsoft Edge cookie settings
Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, although this website is designed to function with only strictly necessary cookies enabled.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. If analytics cookies are in use on this website, they are governed by the consent mechanism described above rather than the DNT header. If you have not consented to analytics cookies, no analytics tracking occurs regardless of your DNT setting.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy if we add or remove cookies, change third-party services or if relevant legislation changes. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
