4. Your cookie choices
The first time you visit, a cookie banner lets you:
- Accept all cookies — enable all categories
- Essential only — only strictly necessary cookies
- Customise — choose which categories to allow
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You usually find these in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu:
Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites.
6. Third-party cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we use some third-party cookies to collect usage statistics (Google Analytics) and to support our payment flow (Stripe). These third parties have their own privacy policies explaining how they use the information.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals your preference not to be tracked online. Our site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals; use the cookie banner instead.
