Essential cookies
The cookie_consent cookie is strictly necessary to remember whether you have accepted or rejected analytics cookies. It does not track you and cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies
Google Analytics cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via the cookie banner. They help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
We have enabled Google Signals on our analytics property. If you are signed into a Google account with personalised ads enabled, Google may additionally collect aggregate demographic and interest data (such as age bracket, gender, and interest categories) associated with your visit. This data is not personally identifiable to us — we only see aggregate reports. Google uses this data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
If you decline analytics cookies, no Google Analytics scripts are loaded and no tracking occurs.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner: Use the cookie consent banner on your first visit to accept or reject analytics cookies.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. See your browser’s help pages for instructions.
- Google opt-out: Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the cookie consent mechanism.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
