What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help remember preferences and understand how pages are used.

How we use cookies

We use a minimal set:

Essential cookies

If analytics is not enabled on our deployment, these cookies will not appear.

Third-party cookies

Analytics providers may set their own cookies when accepted. We do not use advertising or social-media tracking pixels on this site.

Managing cookies

  • Use our banner Reject button to store a rejection preference without optional analytics.
  • Clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser — search your browser help for “cookies”.
  • Blocking essential cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice.

Impact of disabling cookies

The site remains usable if you reject optional analytics. Essential cookies only remember consent state. Disabling all cookies may show the banner on every visit.
