Cookie Policy
Last updated: 31 July 2026
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between page loads, and let analytics and advertising tools recognise a returning browser. Some of what we describe here uses related technologies rather than cookies in the strict sense: local storage, pixels, tags and device identifiers. We treat them all the same way in this policy.
The Four Categories

Microsoft Clarity records your session. Mouse movement, clicks, taps and scrolling are captured and replayed as a video-like reconstruction of your visit, alongside aggregated heatmaps. This is described in full in Section 4 of our Privacy Policy. Declining analytics cookies prevents it.

Do Not Track
Browsers send inconsistent "Do Not Track" signals and there is no agreed standard for responding to them, so we rely on our own consent banner instead.
