Cookies Policy
Last updated: 24 September 2025
This website uses a small number of essential cookies and similar technologies to make the site work reliably. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can help a site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, or manage security. We also use similar technologies, such as localStorage, which store information in your browser.
What we use
Only essential technologies are used on this site:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for core site functions such as session security and form handling.
- LocalStorage — used to remember that you dismissed the cookie notice so it is not shown again.
No non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics, advertising, or social media) are set by this site.
