Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. We use cookies solely to analyse site traffic — we do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.

2. Cookies We Use

We use one category of cookies: analytics cookies provided by Google Analytics 4. These cookies are only placed on your device if you explicitly accept cookies via the consent banner.

The following cookies may be set if you accept:

• _ga — Registers a unique ID used to generate statistical data about how you use the website. Duration: 2 years.
• _ga_XXXXXXXXXX — Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state. Duration: 2 years.

Google Analytics data is anonymised and does not identify you personally. Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored. For more information, see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Necessary Cookies

Our website may also use strictly necessary session cookies set by the Next.js framework to serve pages correctly. These cookies do not collect personal data, do not require consent under GDPR, and are deleted when you close your browser.

4. Managing Your Consent

You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser storage and reloading the page — the consent banner will reappear. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
