Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a site stores on your device. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, and scripts that remember choices or help measure traffic. Some cookies are set by us (first-party); some by partners (third-party) when we embed a service, such as analytics.

2. Necessary (always on)

These are required for the site to work or for a core function you have asked for, for example: maintaining your language preference, load balancing, security, or the cookie consent state so the banner has a record. You cannot turn these off in our tool without losing essential functionality, but you can still block or delete all cookies in your browser (which will affect the experience).

3. Functional, analytics, and marketing (optional, where you consent)

Functional cookies remember choices to improve the experience, such as dismissing a banner, where we use a cookie to remember that you closed it. Analytics cookies help us understand visits and errors so we can improve the site, for example through traffic statistics. Marketing cookies, if we use them, may support ad measurement or campaign attribution; we only enable them when you agree through our cookie controls or equivalent consent.

We load optional scripts only when you have accepted the related category, where our implementation is built that way, so you control whether those cookies are set.

4. Third parties

We use infrastructure and analytics providers. For example, if we use a web analytics product (such as a privacy-respecting, consent-aware analytics product), the provider may set or read a cookie in line with the category you approved. The provider is responsible for their own cookies within our instructions; you can also use browser settings and industry opt-out tools where available.

5. How to change or withdraw consent

When you first visit, you can accept all, reject non-essential, or open preferences. You can change your mind later: clear the consent cookie in your browser, use our cookie banner or preferences link if we expose one on the site, or contact us. Withdrawing consent does not make processing we did when consent was valid unlawful, but it stops future use for that purpose where consent was the only basis. See also your browser or device help for blocking third-party cookies.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new technologies or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top will change, and a material change may be published with a more visible notice on the site. Continued use after an update, together with a renewed cookie choice, reflects your new preferences in line with the updated policy where applicable.
