Cookie and local storage policy
Exactly what this site stores on your device, why, for how long, and how to change it.
What this policy covers
Cookies are small text files a site places on your device. Local storage works the same way but is read only by your browser. Both are covered by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and, where they involve personal data, by the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This policy covers every item this site can place, whether or not it is technically a cookie.
Our approach
Nothing outside the strictly necessary category is written to your device until you have actively allowed it. There are no pre-ticked boxes, closing the banner is not treated as consent, and refusing is exactly as easy as accepting. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we treat that as a refusal of every optional purpose without asking you again.
What we store
Items marked as planned are not present on this build. They are listed so the inventory stays honest if and when the operator adds an analytics or advertising provider — and they would still require your consent first.

Changing your mind
Use the button below, or the "Privacy choices" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and takes effect immediately. Any consent you give expires after 12 months; if you refuse a purpose we will not ask you about it again for at least 6 months.
Browser-level controls
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear site storage from its settings, and offers a private browsing mode that discards everything on close. Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop parts of this site from working. Blocking anything else will not.
This notice is drafted to match how the site is actually built. Before you go live, have it reviewed by a qualified adviser and confirm that every retention period and processor named here matches your real operations.
