Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, improve usability, and sometimes for analytics or advertising. This policy explains how we use cookies on this site.

2. Cookies we use

This site uses strictly necessary (essential) cookies where needed for the site to function:

• Cookie consent – We store your choice (accept or essential only) in your browser (localStorage or a cookie) so we do not show the cookie banner again on your next visit. This is necessary to respect your preference under GDPR.

We use Vercel Analytics for anonymised page-view statistics when the site is deployed on Vercel. Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not use cookies. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.

3. Legal basis (GDPR)

For the European Union and UK, we rely on:

• Legitimate interest – Storing your consent choice so we can comply with it on future visits.
• Consent – If we were to introduce non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics), we would ask for your consent first and only activate them if you accept.

4. How to change your choice

You can withdraw or change your cookie preference at any time:

• Clear your browser’s cookies and local storage for this site, then revisit the site – the cookie banner will appear again and you can choose again.
• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies (see your browser’s help section).

5. Third-party content

Some pages may embed content from third parties (e.g. maps). Those services may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. Check their privacy and cookie policies for more information.
