Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 November 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves on your device. Websites can also save information in your browser’s “local storage”, which works in a similar way. This page lists both.
We only use cookies that the website needs to work, unless you say yes to others. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
Cookies the website needs
These are always on. Without them the website wouldn’t work properly or securely. They don’t track you.

The spam check on our forms (Cloudflare Turnstile) runs in your browser when you send a form. It is used only for security.
Information stored in your browser
These are kept in your browser’s local storage, not sent to us, and contain no personal information. Clearing your browser’s site data removes them.

Analytics cookies (only if you say yes)
These help us count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the website. They’re only set if you accept statistics cookies in the banner. Google Analytics doesn’t store your full IP address, and we don’t use it for advertising.
