01What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on the user's browser or device during a visit, in order to recognise the device on future visits or to improve the browsing experience.
02Types we use
We use only two types of cookie:
- Technical / preference (necessary): essential for browsing and for remembering your decision on the cookie notice. They do not require consent.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity): they help us understand how the site is used, in aggregated and anonymous form. Clarity also records usage metrics such as clicks and scrolling to spot usability problems. They are only switched on if you have pressed "Accept" in the cookie banner. You can change your decision at any time at the bottom of this page.
We do not use advertising profiling cookies and we do not share information with marketing networks.

Analytics cookies are set by Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics) and Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Clarity). Data is aggregated and anonymised (we enable anonymize_ip) before it is sent. More information in Google's privacy policy and in Microsoft's privacy statement.
Note that, as this is a Google service, it may involve transferring data to the United States. You will find more on this point in our Privacy policy.
