This Cookie Policy explains how this site uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you interact with the site.
Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice). These are always active and cannot be switched off via the banner.
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on site). Loaded only after you accept, via Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics (GA4).
- Advertising — support future remarketing and ad-measurement features. Also gated behind your consent choice, even if not yet actively used.
Cookies set on this site
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | This site (first-party) | Remembers your Accept/Reject choice | Persistent (localStorage) |
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for this property | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors, short-lived | 24 hours |
Google Analytics and any future advertising cookies only load after you click "Accept" in the
cookie banner. If you click "Reject," Google Consent Mode signals analytics_storage,
ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization are all set to denied, and these cookies
are not set.
How consent works
On your first visit, a banner asks you to Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored and applied on every later visit. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer.
Controlling cookies via your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how this site functions, since even the consent-choice cookie relies on local storage.
Third-party cookies
Where we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, the data collected is also subject to Google's own privacy policy and cookie practices, which govern how Google processes that data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
