1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site work, remembers your preferences, or measures how the site is used. In this policy "cookies" also covers equivalent technologies such as browser local storage.
2. The cookies we use
We group them into three categories:
- Necessary. They let the site work and remember basic decisions such as your language or your cookie choice. They need no consent and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics. They tell us, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how the site is used, so we can improve it.
- Marketing. They let us measure our campaigns on Meta, Google and TikTok and show relevant ads.

Third-party cookies are also subject to their providers' own policies. The lifetimes shown are those declared by each provider and may change.
3. Your choice
Analytics and marketing cookies are not activated until you accept them. On your first visit we show a notice with three options: accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time here:
If you withdraw consent we stop using those cookies from that moment. Cookies already stored can be deleted from your browser.
4. Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and others all have a privacy section. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
5. Changes
If we change the cookies we use we will update this page and, where appropriate, ask for your consent again.
