Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember state — like keeping you signed in — between page loads. Similar technologies (localStorage entries used for your consent choice and interface preferences) work the same way.

Cookies we set

Session cookie (PHPSESSID): keeps you signed in and pairs your browser with your form-protection token. Strictly necessary; deleting it just signs you out.

Consent record: remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so we do not nag you on every page. Interface preferences: theme choice may be remembered locally in your browser only.

We do not use tracking pixels or cross-site advertising cookies of our own.

Third-party advertising cookies

If advertising is displayed on the site, our ad partner Google may set its own cookies (including the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. These cookies are governed by Google’s policies, not ours.

You can review and change personalised-ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com and opt out of many third-party vendor cookies at https://www.aboutads.info.

Managing and withdrawing consent

All browsers let you block or delete cookies in their privacy settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in. Your banner choice can be changed at any time by clearing the site’s storage in your browser, which makes the consent bar appear again.
