What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Some are essential for a website to function — for example, remembering that you are signed in. Others are used to build advertising or behavioural profiles.
What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No third-party ad network or data-broker scripts.
- No behavioural profiling or cross-site tracking.
- No selling or sharing of browsing data.
Our content security policy blocks third-party scripts from running on this website, so advertising and tracking code cannot execute here even if injected.

Managing cookies
