Cookie Policy
We use only essential cookies. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies that profile your browsing behaviour.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators. Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies"; cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
We also use similar technologies called localStorage and sessionStorage — these work like cookies but are stored differently in your browser. We refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Set by |

3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They include security cookies (set by Cloudflare) and the age-verification storage item. Without these, the website cannot operate safely or correctly.
Under the ICO's guidance, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. However, we believe in transparency and disclose them here regardless.
4. What We Do NOT Use
We do not use:
- Advertising cookies or tracking pixels
- Third-party analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Social media cookies or widgets
- Profiling or behavioural targeting cookies
- Retargeting or remarketing cookies
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:
Browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from functioning correctly.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with regulatory requirements. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
