What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device to remember information — for example your language setting or your consent choices. Similar technologies (Local Storage, pixel tags) are covered by the same rules.
Which cookies do we use?
1. Necessary cookies (always on)
These are needed for the site to work. No consent is required for them.
- cookie_consent — stores your cookie settings. Expires after 12 months.
- wp_session — technical WordPress session. Expires when the browser is closed.
2. Analytics cookies (consent required)
We use Google Analytics to keep anonymised statistics on how the site is used. It is configured so that IP addresses are anonymised straight away.
- _ga, _gid, _gat — Google Analytics. Expire after 2 years / 24 hours / 1 minute.

For advertising via Google AdSense and partners. These cookies are only set if you accept personalised advertising.

How do you manage your consent?

You can also manage cookies manually through your browser settings — in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge this is found under "Privacy and security".

Some cookies are set by external providers (Google). We do not have full control over these. You can find more in their own privacy policies:
