Cookie Policy
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store. Cookies can hold information about your visit (for example, a preference) and are sent back to the website on subsequent requests. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR govern how cookies and similar technologies are used in the UK.
2. Cookies and similar technologies we use

Local storage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined the cookie banner so it does not reappear on every visit. | Persistent, until you clear browser storage. |
| UserWay accessibility cookies | First-party / third-party cookies set by UserWay | If you activate the accessibility toolbar, UserWay may set cookies to remember your preferred contrast, font size, or other accessibility adjustments. | Up to 12 months. |

3. What we do not do
- We do not run advertising cookies.
- We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any cross-site tracking pixel.
- The analytics providers we use (Plausible Analytics, EU-hosted in Tallinn, Estonia, and Cloudflare Web Analytics) are cookieless by design. Neither sets cookies, neither stores IP addresses, and neither tracks visitors across sessions or across other websites.
- We do not sell or share cookie or storage data with third parties for marketing.
4. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, allow only first-party cookies, or delete data on a per-site basis. Be aware that disabling all storage may prevent the cookie banner preference from persisting (you will see the banner on every visit) and may affect the accessibility toolbar.
