Cookie Policy

Effective date: June 20, 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences, keep core features working, and measure how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; in this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary — required for security and basic site functionality. These are always active and cannot be switched off.
Preferences — remember your language, theme and similar settings so the site behaves the way you expect.
Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These run only with your consent.

Analytics and Google

We use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to measure traffic and improve the site. Google Analytics sets cookies such as “_ga” and “_ga_*”.

These analytics cookies are set only after you allow them. We use Google Consent Mode v2: until you opt in, analytics storage is denied and no analytics cookies are written.

Your consent and legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, working website. Non-essential cookies — including analytics — are used only with your consent, as required by the GDPR, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the EU ePrivacy Directive.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time on the Cookie Settings page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

How long cookies last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. Our consent-choice cookie (“bog_consent”) lasts about 180 days, and Google Analytics cookies typically last up to 2 years.

Managing your cookies

You can accept, reject or fine-tune cookies at any time on our Cookie Settings page. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some features may then stop working as expected.

Your privacy rights

For details on how we handle personal data and the rights you have over it, please see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date above.
