1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage. We group them by purpose below, in line with the EU ePrivacy rules and the GDPR.
2. The categories we use
These are the same three categories you see in our consent banner. By default, only Essential is active; Functional and Marketing stay off until you switch them on.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Sign-in, session security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choice. Includes the local-storage key that records your consent. | No - strictly necessary to deliver the service |
| Functional | First-party, non-tracking conveniences such as remembering interface and language preferences. | Yes - only when you turn it on |
| Marketing | Attribution and campaign measurement. We run none of these today; the category exists so your choice is honoured if we ever add them. | Yes - only when you turn it on |
3. Your choices
On your first visit we present a consent banner with three clear options: Accept all, Deny (which keeps every non-essential category off), or Customise to toggle Functional and Marketing individually before saving. Essential cookies are always on because the service cannot function without them.
Your decision is stored only in your own browser (local storage) so the banner does not reappear on every visit. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, which re-opens the banner. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work if you block essential cookies.
4. Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. The consent record and any first-party preference cookies persist for no longer than 12 months, after which you will be asked to renew any optional consent. We will also re-prompt you if we change what the categories cover.
