Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and measure how the site is used. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels — work the same way for the purposes of this policy.

Categories of cookies used

The Site uses three categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary — keep the Site functional (session, language preference, cookie-consent state). These are set without consent because the Site cannot work without them.
• Analytics — measure how visitors use the Site so it can be improved. Set only after you give consent via the cookie banner.
• Marketing — currently none. If marketing pixels are introduced in future, this policy will be updated and consent will be re-requested.

Specific cookies set

The exact cookies in use depend on which features you interact with. The most common are:

• PHPSESSID — strictly necessary, session-only, set by the server to maintain a session.
• cookie_consent — strictly necessary, 12-month lifespan, remembers your cookie banner choice.
• _ga / _ga_* — analytics, 13-month lifespan, set by Google Analytics 4 to distinguish unique visitors. IP-anonymised.
• wordpress_test_cookie / wp-* — strictly necessary, set only if you log into the WordPress admin.

How to control cookies

• Use the cookie banner shown on first visit to accept or reject analytics cookies.
• Clear cookies and re-visit the Site to see the banner again.
• Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings.
• You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-party services

Some pages embed third-party content (YouTube videos, Calendly scheduling, etc.). When you interact with that content, the third party may set its own cookies on your browser, subject to its own privacy and cookie policies — over which the Site has no control.

Changes

If new cookies are added (or existing ones removed), this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date refreshed. Material changes will trigger the consent banner to re-appear.
