Our approach
We default to the privacy-preserving option: no non-essential cookies are set until you choose to accept them. You can decline and the site works normally.
Essential storage
We use a small amount of local storage strictly to remember your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every visit. This is required for the site to respect your preference and does not track you.
Analytics (optional)
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies to measure usage such as page views, landing pages and traffic sources. These help us understand what is useful and improve the site. They are not set unless you accept, and you can withdraw consent at any time using the settings below.
If you have not accepted (or you decline), we use Google Consent Mode: Google Analytics sets no cookies and does not identify you, but your browser still sends Google a cookieless signal when a page loads (for example the page address and basic browser information, which Google receives along with your IP address). We use this only for aggregate, modelled traffic figures, and we do not use any other technique to track you.
Managing your choice
Use the panel below to turn analytics on or off at any time, your choice is remembered and takes effect immediately. It's also linked as Cookie settings in the footer of every page.
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their own settings.
