Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. This site uses a combination of first-party and third-party cookies.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies (always active)
universal_consent_v1 — stored in your browser's localStorage. Records your cookie consent choice (accepted / rejected) and the timestamp of that choice. This is essential for us to respect your preferences and is not used for tracking.
Advertising cookies (if accepted)
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. If you accept advertising cookies, Google may set one or more of the following:
- __gads / __gpi — Google advertising cookies used for ad delivery and frequency capping.
- IDE — set by Google DoubleClick, used to record and report user actions after viewing or clicking an ad.
- NID, DSID, FLC, AID, TAID — additional Google cookies used for ad personalisation and measurement.
These cookies are set by Google and governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control or process these cookies directly.
What we do NOT use
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other analytics or tracking platform. No analytics cookies are set by this site.
Your choices
When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner gives you two options:
- Accept all — consents to the advertising cookies listed above.
- Essential only — rejects advertising cookies. Only the consent record cookie is set. Ads may still appear but will not be personalised.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage (go to your browser's Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage → delete the universal_consent_v1 key), then reload the page to see the banner again.
