Cookie Policy
Every cookie this site can set, what it does, and how long it lasts. Nothing optional loads until you say yes.
1. How consent works here
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether we may use analytics. Until you accept, the only things stored are strictly essential — no analytics, first-party or Google, runs at all. You can change your mind any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer, which re-opens the banner; declining is exactly as easy as accepting.

3. Managing cookies yourself
Beyond our banner, every browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies in its settings, and you can clear this site’s local storage the same way. Blocking the essential admin cookie has no effect on visitors — it is only ever set for staff. Google’s cookies are governed by Google’s privacy policy.
