1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until deleted).

2. How We Use Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 on this website. This means:

  • When you first visit the site, all non-essential cookies and signals are set to denied by default.
  • The signals covered are: ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage.
  • Only if you click "Accept All" are these signals updated to granted.
  • If you click "Reject Non-Essential", these signals remain denied and no analytics or advertising cookies are set.
  • You can customise individual preferences via "Settings".
