Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and measure how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us (first-party); others are set by services we use (third-party).

Essential cookies — required for the site to function. We use a small consent-state cookie to remember whether you have dismissed our cookie banner. No analytics or marketing identifiers.

Analytics cookies — set only after you consent.

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — aggregated traffic measurement. 13-month expiry.
• Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk, CLID) — anonymised session insights. Expiry varies (1 day to 1 year).

Marketing cookies — none currently. We do not run advertising pixels or remarketing tags.

The third parties listed above set their own cookies governed by their own privacy policies:

• Google — policies.google.com/privacy
• Microsoft — privacy.microsoft.com
• Cloudflare — cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

You can decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner (see ConsentBanner.astro) the first time you visit, or by clearing the consent cookie and reloading.

You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.

When you first visit we show a consent banner asking whether you accept analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie and respected for 6 months, after which we will ask again.

DRAFT — REPLACE BEFORE PUBLISHING. Confirm exact cookie names and lifetimes by inspecting a live session.
