Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. We use them only with your consent where required (see “Consent” below).

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies in three ways:

Strictly necessary (essential) — to remember your cookie choices and keep the Site secure. These do not require consent.
Analytics (consent-based) — Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure traffic and improve content. Analytics only runs if you opt in via our banner or settings.
Marketing (consent-based): usually used to allow for personalised advertising, we have currently not implmeneted any.

3. Cookies we set/use (illustrative)

Exact names can vary. Typical GA4 cookies include:

_ga — stores a unique ID to recognise returning visitors (up to 2 years).
gameasurement-id — persists session state for GA4 (up to 2 years).

We also set an essential cookie to remember your consent status (duration: up to 12 months).

We do not use advertising cookies or share data for third-party marketing.

On your first visit, we ask for your consent for analytics cookies. We do not set them unless you opt in.

You can withdraw or adjust consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer or by clearing cookies in your browser.

5. Managing cookies in your browser

You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break some functionality. Some users may also choose to install Google’s “Analytics Opt-out” add-on.

When enabled, GA4 collects pseudonymous data about your interaction with the Site (e.g., page views, approximate region). IP addresses may be used to derive region and then truncated or discarded according to Google’s current implementation. See our Privacy Policy for legal bases and retention.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy if we add or remove cookies or change vendors. Check this page for the latest version.
