What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, improve user experience, and (where permitted) measure usage for analytics and performance.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential: required for core website functionality and security.
- Preferences: remember choices such as cookie settings.
- Analytics (optional): understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
- Marketing (optional): measure campaign effectiveness or deliver relevant messages (if used).
If you do not consent to optional categories, the site will still function, but some improvements and measurements may be limited.
Types of cookies we use
The cookies on your website will depend on the tools you install (WordPress plugins, analytics platforms, marketing pixels, etc.). Below is a compliant structure and includes the cookies used by this consent system itself.

Third-party cookies
Some services (e.g., embedded video, analytics, advertising) may set cookies. Where these are non-essential, we aim to load them only if you opt in. The exact cookies depend on the providers you use.
How long cookies last
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Cookie durations vary by purpose and provider.
