What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They let a page remember things like the language you chose, or count visitor numbers. Some cookies are essential for the site to work — others are optional and need your consent.
Giving and withdrawing consent
On your first visit you get a cookie banner where you can choose:
- Accept all — all cookies are enabled
- Only necessary — only the cookies the site needs to work are loaded
- Customise — turn on only the categories you want
You can change your choice at any time by clicking (opens cookie preferences). Cookies already stored in your browser stay there until they expire or you delete them yourself.
Necessary cookies (no consent required)
These cookies are essential to the site’s basic functions. They can’t be turned off without changing your browser settings.

The site also uses Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not store your IP address. It only measures anonymous page loads.
Analytics cookies (consent required)
These help us understand how the site is used — for example, which pages are popular, how long people stay on them, and where visitors come from. The data is looked at in aggregate to improve the site.
