Cookie Policy
In short: this site sets one cookie only — to remember your choice in the cookie banner. There are no analytics, advertising, social media or profiling cookies, and no third-party trackers of any kind.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. They can be used to make a site function, to remember preferences, or to track behaviour across sites. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and tracking pixels.
2. Cookies used on this site
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent_v1 | Strictly necessary (first-party) | Records your choice in the cookie banner so it is not shown again on every visit | 6 months |
This cookie contains only the value accepted or essential. It carries no identifier, no personal data and cannot be used to track you across other websites.
3. Cookies NOT used
- No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics or equivalent);
- No advertising, remarketing or profiling cookies;
- No social media or embedded third-party cookies;
- No tracking pixels, fingerprinting or cross-site identifiers.
4. Why no consent is legally required for this cookie
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and Regulation 6 of the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the consent requirement. The consent-preference cookie falls within that exemption. The banner is displayed for transparency, and rejecting non-essential cookies changes nothing on this site because none are set.
5. Managing cookies
You can review or change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the site footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Settings › Privacy › Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Deleting the consent cookie will cause the banner to be shown again on your next visit.
6. Server logs
Independently of cookies, the hosting server records standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent) for security and abuse prevention on the basis of legitimate interests. These logs are retained for a maximum of 12 months and are not used for profiling.
