Plain summary. We use essential storage to run the site securely. Optional analytics and marketing storage is off until you opt in through our cookie interface. You can revisit choices anytime.
Definitions
- Cookies
- Small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They can be session-based (removed when you close the browser) or persistent (stored for a defined period).
- Local storage
- Browser storage that can hold small records, such as your consent selections for this domain, until you clear site data.
- Similar technologies
- Pixels, tags, or scripts that read or write identifiers in line with the purposes described here and your consent state.
Types of storage we use
We group tools into the categories shown in the cookie banner. Strictly necessary items support security, network delivery, and remembering your consent state. Optional categories are analytics (aggregate usage) and marketing (measurement tied to campaigns where applicable).
We avoid loading optional scripts until you allow the relevant category, except where a tool is strictly necessary for security or basic operation and cannot reasonably be split.
Purposes by category
Strictly necessary. Includes consent storage, protection against common abuse patterns, and operational reliability. These are not used for optional profiling.
Analytics. Helps us see which pages load slowly, which paths are common, and whether navigation labels work. We prefer aggregate statistics over individual tracking where the tool allows.
Marketing. May include measurement pixels or conversion tags when you consent, so we can compare message reach with sign-ups or inquiries in a privacy-preserving way where the vendor supports it.
Retention periods
Consent records in local storage typically persist up to twelve months unless you clear site data earlier. Session cookies expire when the session ends. Vendor-specific analytics or marketing cookies follow the documentation published by each provider; we review those schedules at least once per year and document changes in internal records.
If we replace a vendor, we ask for deletion or anonymization of historical identifiers according to the outgoing agreement.
Third-party tools
When we embed fonts, icons, or analytics from external networks, those providers may receive technical data such as IP address and user-agent string as part of the request. We select processors with written commitments and, where required, Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards for transfers outside the EEA or UK.
Your choices and controls
Use Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings in the banner. Settings let you keep necessary storage while toggling analytics and marketing independently. You can also clear cookies and site data through your browser settings; clearing data may reset preferences and show the banner again.
International transfers
Where personal data arising from cookies or similar tools is processed in countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, supplementary measures where indicated by case law, and practical controls like encryption in transit.
Updates and contact
We update this policy when our tools, regulators, or internal practices change. Material updates are reflected on this page; the date at the top of the hero section is generated when you load the page so you can see today’s calendar reference alongside the document text.
