Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2026. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as preferences or consent choices.
2. Types of cookies we use
We distinguish between two categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function correctly, such as remembering your cookie consent choice. These cannot be disabled as they are necessary to operate the site.
- Optional cookies — used, where you have given consent, to understand how visitors use the website so that we can improve its content and structure. These are only set after you accept them through the cookie banner.

4. Managing your preferences
When you first visit this website, a cookie banner allows you to accept or reject optional cookies. You can change your decision at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and reloading the page, which will display the banner again.
