A short, plain-English account of the cookies and similar storage we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can change your mind.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (essential cookies), measure how the site is used (analytics cookies), or remember non-essential preferences such as language.
This site also uses similar technologies — localStorage and sessionStorage — which behave like cookies for the purposes of this policy and your consent choices.

3. Your consent & how to change it
3.1 On your first visit, our cookie banner appears at the foot of the screen with three equally-weighted choices: Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Customize. Essential cookies are set in any case — the site cannot function without them.
3.2 To change your choice at any time, — the banner will reappear. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings; the banner will appear again on your next visit.

This policy and our cookie practices comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended, and with the UK GDPR. The lawful basis for non-essential cookies is your consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)); essential cookies are placed under the “strictly necessary” exemption in PECR Reg. 6(4).
