Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. "Local storage" is a similar browser technology that stores data on your device without an expiry date.

2. What we use

This website uses analytics cookies and analytics storage only, and only with your consent. It does not use advertising cookies. It does not use cookies for cross-site advertising or for building marketing profiles.

With your consent, we use PostHog (EU-hosted) analytics to collect anonymised usage statistics such as pages visited, approximate location by country, and referral source. PostHog stores its data in your browser's localStorage and runs only if you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics run. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or changing your choice in the cookie banner.

With your consent, we also use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, to measure how visitors use this website. Google Analytics sets the following cookies, which run only if you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, these cookies are not set.

• _ga: Provider Google. Type analytics, first-party cookie set by Google Analytics. Purpose: distinguishes individual visitors so that visits can be counted. Duration: 2 years.
• _ga_7Y3RP2J1LZ: Provider Google. Type analytics, first-party cookie set by Google Analytics 4. Purpose: maintains session state for the Google Analytics 4 property. Duration: 2 years.

We use only browser localStorage for the following strictly functional purposes:

• tta_cookie_consent: Records whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies so that the consent banner is not shown on every visit.
• tta_cookie_date: Records the date your consent choice was made, for our compliance records.

Both values are stored only on your own device and are never transmitted to our servers or to any third party. They contain no personal data beyond your consent preference.

3. Strictly necessary storage

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), Regulation 6, storage that is strictly necessary for a service the user has requested does not require prior consent. Our localStorage items fall within this category as they exist solely to support the cookie consent function you have interacted with.

4. How to control or clear cookies

You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings. The steps vary by browser:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data > Cookies and other site data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data
• Edge: Settings > Privacy, search and services > Clear browsing data

Clearing site data will reset your cookie consent preference and the consent banner will be shown again on your next visit. It will not affect any other aspect of your use of the website.

5. Third-party cookies

With your consent, this website loads Google Analytics 4, an analytics script provided by Google LLC, and PostHog, an analytics provider hosted in the European Union. We also use Sentry, an error-monitoring provider hosted in the European Union, which loads regardless of your cookie choice: it sets no cookies, records only the technical details of a fault (the page, the browser and the error message), and is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping this website secure and working. These are the only third-party services embedded on the website. The Google Analytics cookies listed in section 2 are set only after you click Accept. We do not embed advertising pixels, social media plugins, or any cross-site advertising or profiling technology. If you decline, or until you accept, no analytics cookies or scripts are loaded.

6. Changes to this policy

If we introduce any additional cookies or storage technologies in future, this policy will be updated and a consent banner shown before they are set. The current version will always be available at this URL with the date of last update shown at the top of this page.
