What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used for session management, preferences, analytics, and security.

Cookies we set.

Essential cookies

Required for site operation. These do not require consent.

  • Session management and security cookies (set by the site)
  • Language-choice cookie (set by the site when you select a language)
  • Cookie-consent cookie — remembers your consent choice
  • Content Delivery Network technical cookies — set by our CDN provider to deliver pages efficiently and protect against attack

Analytics cookies

Used for aggregate, privacy-respecting analytics. We use a privacy-respecting analytics solution (Matomo or Plausible, self-hosted or EU-hosted) rather than Google Analytics. Where analytics cookies are set, consent is required via the banner shown on your first visit; you can withdraw consent at any time.

Third-party tracking.

We do not deploy third-party marketing, advertising, or behavioural-tracking pixels on this site. A limited number of service providers (CDN, analytics, email delivery) may set technical cookies necessary for their service.

Managing cookies.

You can accept, reject, or manage cookies via the banner shown on your first visit and via your browser settings. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without losing site functionality. Browser-level controls let you delete existing cookies and block future ones.

Data protection.

Cookie use is subject to our Privacy Notice. Contact the Data Protection Officer for data-subject requests related to cookies or the data they help collect.
