Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return or move between pages. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” to refer to all of these.

2. Why we use cookies

We keep our use of cookies deliberately light. We use them to make the website function correctly, to remember simple preferences such as your choice of light or dark theme, and, where enabled, to understand in aggregate how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about you.

3. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or loading a page.

Preference cookies

These remember choices you make to give you a better experience, such as which visual theme you have selected. They store only the setting itself, not personal information.

Analytics cookies

Where enabled, these help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information in aggregate. They tell us, for example, which pages are visited most often, without identifying you personally.

4. Cookies at a glance

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
ol-theme	Preference	Remembers your light or dark theme choice	Persistent
session	Strictly necessary	Maintains basic site functionality during your visit	Session
_analytics	Analytics	Aggregate, non-identifying usage measurement (where enabled)	Up to 24 months

The exact cookies present may vary slightly as we maintain the website. The categories above describe the full range of what we use.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that help us operate the website, such as our hosting platform or an analytics provider. These third parties process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. We choose providers that support privacy-respecting configurations and, where offered, aggregate-only measurement.

6. Managing your preferences

You are in control of cookies. Most browsers let you view the cookies stored on your device, delete them individually or all at once, and block cookies from some or all websites. You can usually find these controls in your browser’s settings or preferences menu.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without affecting how the website works, and that blocking or deleting cookies may change or limit your experience on this and other sites.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is not yet a common industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted, our website does not currently respond to them differently. We will revisit this position if a consistent standard emerges.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves or as laws change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and the updated policy takes effect when published. For more detail on how we handle personal information generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
