Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files or identifiers stored by a browser. Related technologies can also record device, page and interaction information. Some are needed for security, form handling and consent choices; others support optional analytics.

2. Cookie categories used on this site

Strictly necessary

These support core website operation, security, load management, form protection and storage of cookie-consent choices. They cannot always be disabled through the website without affecting the requested function.

Preferences

These remember choices that improve a visitor's experience. The exact cookies depend on enabled WordPress and consent settings.

Analytics

When analytics storage is permitted, Microsoft Clarity may use cookies and similar technologies to associate page visits and produce aggregated metrics, heatmaps and session replay. Common Clarity cookies can include _clck and _clsk; names, providers and durations may change as the service changes.

This site does not intentionally enable advertising cookies unless they are separately identified in the CookieYes banner and made subject to the corresponding consent controls.

3. CookieYes consent controls

CookieYes is used to present cookie choices, store the consent state and make preferences available for later revision. Visitors can accept, reject or customize non-essential categories through the banner. The current CookieYes scan and consent panel should be treated as the operational list of cookies found on the live site.

4. Microsoft Clarity

Clarity helps us understand navigation, interaction and technical problems. Under Clarity Consent Mode, Clarity does not set its analytics cookies until it receives a valid granted consent signal. If analytics storage is denied, the Clarity tag may still collect limited cookieless data while cookie-dependent features are restricted. The Clarity project must be configured to receive the CookieYes consent signal, and the live site must be tested after launch to confirm that _clck and _clsk are absent before analytics consent.

See the Microsoft Clarity Consent Mode documentation for current behavior.

5. Change or withdraw a choice

Use the Cookie Settings control on this page to reopen the consent panel. A visitor can also remove cookies using browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect consent memory, security or form behavior.

6. Updates and contact

Cookie names and durations can change when WordPress, security, analytics or consent tools are updated. We will revise this page and rescan the live site when material changes occur. Privacy questions can be sent through the contact information published on the website.
