1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use closely related technologies (e.g., localStorage) for similar purposes such as remembering preferences.
2) How we use cookies
- Essential — core functionality, security, load balancing, remembering your consent choices. (No consent required.)
- Preferences — remembering settings like theme (light/dark).
- Analytics (consent-based) — understanding what pages and tools are used so we can improve them.
- Advertising (consent-based) — serving ads (e.g., Google AdSense) and measuring performance; personalised ads require consent where applicable.
3) Your choices
On your first visit you can Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. You can change your decision any time:
Rejecting non-essential cookies disables analytics and personalised ads. The site still works.
4) Categories we use
